Getting error "Whitelabel Error Page" while running localhost:8080-CodePudding

I started learning Spring Framework and get this kind of error while running localhost:8080

Whitelabel Error Page This application has no explicit mapping for /error, so you are seeing this as a fallback.

Controller.java

package com.springFramework.helloGame.controller;

import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.GetMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;

@RestController
public class Controller {

    @GetMapping("/sum")
    public long displaySum(){
        return 100;
    }

}

HelloGameApplication.java

package com.springFramework.helloGame;

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.context.ConfigurableApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.ComponentScan;

@SpringBootApplication
public class HelloGameApplication {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        ConfigurableApplicationContext context =
                SpringApplication.run(HelloGameApplication.class, args);
    }

}

CodePudding user response：

It seems your controller only have a mapping for "/sum" path. Try querying localhost:8080/sum.

CodePudding user response：

The Whitelabel page is a spring error handling method and it tries to hint to you that you do have a mapping for /error. Now coming to the issue you need to write @RequestMapping("/") above your get mapping in the controller so that the spring knows the base URI. It's an entry point for the spring application for the browser.

Now you have written /sum get URI and in the browser, you are trying for http://localhost:8080 So for the above Uri to work you need to provide @RequestMapping("/")

or you can use http://localhost:8080/sum with you current code.
