Spring Boot - Controller is recognised but the api is not binded

Time:04-06

I have two files in my application.

The Main class file.

package in.njari.util;

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

@SpringBootApplication
@ComponentScan(basePackages = "in.njari")
public class UtilApplication {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(UtilApplication.class, args);
    }
}

The controller class.

package in.njari.util.src.controller;

import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.GetMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;

@RestController
public class UtilController {
    @GetMapping(value = "/util")
    public String f(){
        return "I provide insights.";
    }
}

My application.properties looks like :

server.servlet.context-path=/util-service
logging.level.org.springframework.core.io.support=DEBUG
logging.level.org.springframework.context.annotation=DEBUG

Here's what my console looks like :

 /\\ / ___'_ __ _ _(_)_ __  __ _ \ \ \ \

I tried hitting the api with the url : http://localhost:8080/util-service/util and this throws up a 404 error.

So even though the controller is picked up for component scanning(according to the logs), the request within it isn't mapped. Not sure why this is happening.

I suspect there is some wrong configuration/annotation that i'm using/not using here! Haven't been able to pinpoint what it really is though.

CodePudding user response:

try removing

@ComponentScan(basePackages = "in.njari")

the annotation @RestController is a java bean that the system will recognize and initialize by its own, Other then that your code seems to work I have tested it.

CodePudding user response:

From 2.1.x of Spring Boot the "spring.mvc.servlet.path" property is moved and renamed as "spring.mvc.servlet.path".

Can you try

spring.mvc.servlet.path=/util-service

instead of

server.servlet.context-path=/util-service

CodePudding user response:

If you explicitly want to scan base packages, use

@SpringBootApplication(scanBasePackages = "in.njari")
