Trailing slash is not inserted in Spring Boot application

Question

Tomcat in Spring Boot is not inserting the trailing slash after context name at URL.

It should be done automatically by server case it was not specified.

Example: /user would be changed to /user/ by server

Does anyone have any idea how to enable it?

Thanks

Answer 1

It is not supposed to insert the trailing slash.

It only does that in the case of the contextRoot (which in a Spring Boot application is usally /, so going to http://your.server.here:8080 will redirect to http://your.server.here:8080/ )

What is your use case for the redirects?

In case you want this functionality, it should be quite trivial to add a filter that would do the redirects for you.
