Spring Boot: Cannot access REST Controller on localhost (404)

Question

I am trying to adapt the REST Controller example on the Spring Boot website. Unfortunately I\'ve got the following error when I am trying to access the localhost:8080/

Answer 1

There are 2 method to overcome this

1. Place the bootup application at start of the package structure and rest all controller inside it.

   Example :

   package com.spring.boot.app; - You bootup application(i.e. Main Method -SpringApplication.run(App.class, args);)

   You Rest Controller in with the same package structure Example : package com.spring.boot.app.rest;

2. Explicitly define the Controller in the Bootup package.

Method 1 is more cleaner.
