STS - Spring Boot Application - The requested resource is not available

Question

I have imported a project from a GIT repository and when trying to launch on Tomcat 8 I receive the following error:

The requested resource is not available.

The url launched is http://localhost:8080/[project_name]/

I have tried appending the various html files (ie home.html) to the url to no avail. Can someone please help me diagnose the issue?

Thanks!

Without any additional configuration, Spring Boot apps will launch at http://localhost:8080 .

If you want to add a context path, add the following property to your application.properties file:

server.context-path=my-project-name

Then it will launch at localhost:8080/my-project-name .
