How do I choose the URL for my Spring Boot webapp?

Question

I am using Spring Boot to create a web app, and I am not sure how to change the URL from localhost:8080 to something like localhost:8080/myWebApp.

Answer 1

In Spring Boot 2 the property in e.g. in application.properties is server.servlet.context-path=/myWebApp to set the context path.
