Every time I access my spring boot application I type localhost:8080. I want to access the application by typing www.MyApp.com. It is an in-house application so it is not going to be live on the Web. The application is using spring boot embedded. Is there a way to change it?

    Does your hosts file contain a line like "127.0.0.1 www.MyApp.com"? – imperezivan May 21 '19 at 16:33

    How you access your application isn't generally related to anything in app's configuration itself. Generally speaking, address of your application isn't actually the `localhost` - it's a `127.0.0.1:8080`, localhost name is being just a common name resolved by your browser to mean `127.0.0.1`. For most things on the web, we use DNS servers to convert from human-readable address to machine readable one. For an in-house app, you have to imitate a DNS service yourself, locally. In Windows, that can be done by editing the hosts file. – M. Prokhorov May 21 '19 at 16:33

This is more related to operating system's host configurations.
