favicon.ico disappearing adding server.context-path in vaadin 8 spring

Question

I updated context-path to my application.properties and favicon.ico is not being shown aafter that.

If I am removing server.context-path=/myApp from application.properties it is working. I wonder if there is a way to define favicon.icon for application with contextpath.

I had favicon.ico in this path: src/main/resources/VAADIN/themes/myApp/

I have never used Vaadin so perhaps this answer is a bit far-fetched as you use the default `favicon.ico` filename, but you can perhaps consider this as a possible workaround. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25660659/vaadin-how-to-change-favicon/25667111#25667111 — Nico Van Belle, Jun 15 '17 at 13:10

The problem was not adding server.context-path attribute. I changed the pom file adding this code

        <resources>
          <resource>
            <directory>src/main/resources</directory>
            <filtering>true</filtering>
        </resource>
    </resources>

The filtering changed the shape of favicon so it was not recognizable.
