没有错误，但是映射不起作用Spring Boot + tomcat 8.0

Question

I wanted to create a tiny app running on spring boot. When I package it into a jar file the app runs smoothly on my local machine. I decided to deploy it on AWS elastic beanstalk, so I did the changes needed for creation of .war file ( https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/howto-traditional-deployment.html )

I wanted to try it running on my local TOMCAT. So i placed the war file in the webapps directory, and run the Tomcat 8.0\\bin\\Tomcat8.exe

The logs in the console look ok, there is even an info that the /hello route got mapped. The server runs, but when I enter the localhost:8080/hello nothing is returned. No error, just an empty page.

The controller:

package com.ga1.superheroes;

import org.springframework.http.HttpStatus;
import org.springframework.http.ResponseEntity;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;

@RestController
public class MainController {

    @RequestMapping(value = "/hello", method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public ResponseEntity<String> hello() {
        return new ResponseEntity<>("Hello World", HttpStatus.OK);
    }

}

and the Main:

package com.ga1;

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

@SpringBootApplication
public class SuperHeroesApplication extends SpringBootServletInitializer {

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

    @Override
    protected SpringApplicationBuilder configure(SpringApplicationBuilder application) {
        return application.sources(SuperHeroesApplication.class);
    }

}

Answer 1

I think the issue is with the URL you are using. Because you are now deploying on a standalone Tomcat, your war will be deployed under a context that commonly matches the war file name, unless you specify the context in the application.properties. Can you provide your application.properties.

You can set the context in application.properties this way:

server.contextPath=/<whatever>

Otherwise, I'm betting your URL would be accessed like this as is:

/superheroes-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT/hello
