Imported an example project to my workspace which URL, lets say, looked like this:

http://localhost:8080/Example/login

Then I copied example project, renamed/refactored until it worked. My question is, where I can change the URL string that follows localhost ? At the moment, the URL is still same, but I want mine to be like:

http://localhost:8080/MyProject/login

I must mention, that on "Run on server" when it is loaded, the automatic URL is: http://localhost:8080/Example/ ... the login part must be added manually and after that controller recognizes it.

It seems like, the name after localhost is taken from ProjectName, but I renamed it after copy. Is there in some document where the change is needed to make manually ?

  • if it is a maven project you need to change you project name in pom.xml and after that remove the app from your application server than redeploy it. – Ismail Sahin Jun 02 '16 at 07:03
  • It should be in the your `@Controller` function or `@RestController` where `@RequestMapping` is currently "Example". If this is not the case then it's probably due to the login and hence a spring security thing in which case you'll need to look at the security configuration java file – Roel Strolenberg Jun 02 '16 at 07:13

Ask myself, answer myself. The answer is found here: How to change context root of a dynamic web project in Eclipse?

Firstly: Change Web project settings under Properties - Web Project setting - Context root if it is not already done

Secondly: After that under Server list: Right click on server and clean.

That should do it.

You did not mention which server you are using assuming tomcat goto server.xml file and change as follows put the context tag inside host tag

    <Context docBase="MyProject" path="/login">

refer to the reference of context tag for more https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-4.1-doc/config/context.html

Assuming you changed your project name to MyProject
