Good afternoon to all

I built a small spring application just for learning purposes and I’m trying to run it with Tomcat, I’ve tried everything and always get error 404. Would someone please explain to me what the problem is?

package com.fred.springboot;

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.builder.SpringApplicationBuilder;
import org.springframework.boot.web.servlet.support.SpringBootServletInitializer;

@SpringBootApplication
public class SpringbootApplication extends SpringBootServletInitializer {

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

    @Override
    protected SpringApplicationBuilder configure(SpringApplicationBuilder builder) {
        return builder.sources(SpringbootApplication.class);
    }

}


package com.fred.springboot.controller;

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

@RestController("/")
public class HelloController {

    @GetMapping
    public String helloMsg() {
        return "WAR: Hello java spring-boot!!!";
    }

}

You need now to fix the dependency spring-boot-starter-tomcat Tomcat:

<dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-tomcat</artifactId>
        <scope>provided</scope>
    </dependency>

On the tag you can improve:

<build>
    <finalName>Hello</finalName>

    <pluginManagement><!-- lock down plugins versions to avoid using Maven 
            defaults (may be moved to parent pom) -->
        <plugins>
            <!-- clean lifecycle, see https://maven.apache.org/ref/current/maven-core/lifecycles.html#clean_Lifecycle -->

        </resource>
    </resources>
</build>

Then you run the build with the right mouse button on the run as > maven clean and then run as > maven build ... . The . War package will be generated in target. Just copy and paste into the Tomcat webapp (always remember to clean the work).

Couldn’t see, but I believe your index.html is in the /src/main/Resources/templates folder. If it’s not, just create the path and put it there.

Basically, that’s all it is. My application is running like this on Tomcat 9. If you have any more questions, comment on this reply post.
