I have a demo application of Spring MVC - I just follow udemy course for it.
I have created the first controller and view. All is working fine, however I have one doubt about. The pom file of application contains:
<groupId>eu.smartgroup</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-demo-mvc</artifactId>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<packaging>war</packaging>
So when I run application on tomcat server it starts, but it is available with url: http://localhost:8080/spring_demo_mvc_war
Is there possibility to configure application so it will be available in the root path: http://localhost:8080/ (without project name after slash)?
Edit: Here is full application.yml
server:
servlet:
contextPath: /
HelloController.java
package eu.test.springdemo.mvc;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.*;
@Controller
@RequestMapping("/")
public class HelloController {
@GetMapping("/")
public String showPage() {
return "main-menu";
}
}
DemoAppConfig.java
package eu.test.springdemo.config;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.ComponentScan;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.ViewResolver;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.EnableWebMvc;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.ResourceHandlerRegistry;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.WebMvcConfigurer;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver;
@Configuration
@EnableWebMvc
@ComponentScan(basePackages="eu.test.springdemo")
public class DemoAppConfig implements WebMvcConfigurer {
// define a bean for ViewResolver
@Bean
public ViewResolver viewResolver() {
InternalResourceViewResolver viewResolver = new InternalResourceViewResolver();
viewResolver.setPrefix("/WEB-INF/view/");
viewResolver.setSuffix(".jsp");
return viewResolver;
}
@Override
public void addResourceHandlers(ResourceHandlerRegistry registry) {
registry.addResourceHandler("/resources/**").addResourceLocations("/resources/");
}
}
