Spring + Maven | 404 Error: The requested resource is not available

Question

Using Eclipse Neon, I'm following the simple Spring Hello World tutorial here , but I'm getting a 404 error. This is a Maven project.

You can see my code on GitHub . The project builds, and the server (Tomcat v7.0) starts just fine. But when I go to http://localhost:8080/gs-rest-service/ , http://localhost:8080/gs-rest-service/greeting , or http://localhost:8080/greeting , I get the 404 error.

Can anyone help explain why, and how I can fix the error?

Answer 1

Hi this projects(pom) already contains inbuilt tomcat so You don't need to run this on separate server. Just build using

mvn clean install

java -jar target/gs-rest-service-0.1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

And now check end point it will work.
