Please correct if the way I am doing is wrong.
In my web application I am not using jsp pages for developing user interface. Instead I am using html, css and Angular 2 and front-end project structure is separated from back-end.
Although I am able to develop a simple project using Angular CLI which is served by SpringMVC back-end. Front-end is using port 4200 and backend is running on port 8080. I have managed to take and serve request from Angular 2 to SpringMVC. In local mode these are working perfectly, now I want to make them host on a live server.
How to publish SpringMVC back-end and Angular 2 front-end separately but running on same domain? I am not using SpringBoot also front-end and back-end are in separate folders. I do not want to combine both in same project structure and generate a war file and deploy.
What is the best practice for developing SpringMVC back-end and Angular-2 back-end and deploying them in online server?
What I've found works best is running nginx as a static file server and a forward proxy for the spring app.
usually I use the angular-cli proxy to make /api/ go to http://localhost:8080
that means that calls to http://localhost:3000/api/** get passed to http://localhost:8080/api/. And since you are on the same domain we can simply call /api/
