Java Spring Boot return 404-CodePudding

Spring Boot application runs normally on embedded Tomcat server when I run it from Eclipse, but when I deploy it to external tomcat server (on Windows) I'm getting HTTP 404 status.

I did clean package and copied from target folder war file in tomcat webapps folder on local tomcat server and I restarted tomcat but...

When I run get method in postman with endpoint http://localhost:8080/export/test/ I get 404 not found

Tomcat version 9
Java 11

TOMCAT MANAGER:

@SpringBootApplication
public class ExportApplication extends SpringBootServletInitializer {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(ExportApplication.class, args);
    }

    @Override
    protected SpringApplicationBuilder configure(SpringApplicationBuilder builder) {
        return builder.sources(ExportApplication.class);
    }
}

CodePudding user response：

404 means that url you are hitting is not available.When We deploy the code on external application server it serves it from root context that is generally start with the project name . You can check in the logs what is context it is serving and then append the rest end point it .It will work

CodePudding user response：

You can use finalName property in your build file (pom.xml for maven)

<finalName>export</finalName>
