I am trying to create a Spring Boot program where I can save different products that a business may have for sale. I am saving the products into MongoDB.

Currently, I am trying to use PostMan to save a product into the database. However, PostMan keeps giving me this error, and I was wondering what I am doing wrong (this is the URL I am inputting into PostMan: "http://localhost:8080/mdb-spring-boot-product-organizer/api/addProduct"):

{
    "timestamp": "2022-12-07T22:56:33.866 00:00",
    "status": 404,
    "error": "Not Found",
    "path": "/mdb-spring-boot-product-organizer/api/addProduct"
}

Main class

import org.springframework.data.mongodb.repository.config.EnableMongoRepositories;

@SpringBootApplication
@EnableMongoRepositories
public class MdbSpringBootApplication {
    
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(MdbSpringBootApplication.class, args);
    }
    

}````



I have been trying to add different annotations or rename my packages, but none of that has worked.

CodePudding user response：

I don't think mdb-spring-boot-product-organizer should be part of the URL.

Try making a POST to http://localhost:8080/api/addProduct.

CodePudding user response：

Try adding @ComponentScan to your Spring boot application class.

@SpringBootApplication
@EnableMongoRepositories
@ComponentScan(basePackages={"com.example.mdbspringbootproductorganizer.controller","com.example.mdbspringbootproductorganizer.repository"})
public class MdbSpringBootApplication {
    
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(MdbSpringBootApplication.class, args);
    }
    

}

This error comes usually when your spring boot application cannot find the URL (since it is defined in different package than one with @SpringBootApplication class) despite defined in Controller!
