Getting 404 error with spring boot application on localhost no exceptions in log

Question

I am new to spring-boot and have created a dummy app which has one controller method.

The packaging type for the application is mentioned as jar in pom file. On deployment there are no errors in logs.

But still after a successful build and deployment when i try to access my localhost from browser i get a 404 error.

Below are the things which i have already tried to resolve the issue :

1) Including my main class and controller class in same package. 2) Having my main class in root package and controller in sub package. 3) Defining @RestController on class as well as method. 4) Extending SpringBootServletInitializer in my main class

package com.test.controller;

    @SpringBootApplication
    public class TestApplication  {

        public static void main(String[] args) {

            SpringApplication.run(TestApplication.class, args);
        }

    }


 **Controller class**




     package com.test.controller;

        import org.slf4j.Logger;
        import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;
        import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
        import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
        import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod;

        @RestController
        public class TestController {

            public final Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(TestController.class);

            @RequestMapping(value = "/test", method = RequestMethod.GET)
            public String test() {
                logger.info("This is a test message to check if logback is working");
                return "Hello World";
            }
        }

So as per the result i should have got a Hello World message on my web page but instead i got an 404 error.

Below is the log on service startup :

`@ComponentScan(basePackageClasses = TestController.class)` no need `@SpringBootApplication` do everything — soorapadman, Jul 19 '19 at 08:49
And annotate your class with `@RestController` instead of `@Controller` — Toerktumlare, Jul 19 '19 at 08:49
@ThomasAndolf Tried doing that after your comment, issue still persists. — ANKIT SRIVASTAVA, Jul 19 '19 at 08:50
@soorapadman Tried replacing "@Controller" with "@RestController" and still facing the same issue. — ANKIT SRIVASTAVA, Jul 19 '19 at 08:52
Update your questions code with my changes, remove componentscan and the new restcontroller annotation. — Toerktumlare, Jul 19 '19 at 08:53
Do you see you log information on console? `This is a test messge...` — mate00, Jul 19 '19 at 08:53
After the update, post your logs when service is starting. Commit the code to a git repo so we can pull it and check — Toerktumlare, Jul 19 '19 at 08:54
How do you run you application? What do you get in the logs? — Toerktumlare, Jul 19 '19 at 08:57
@ANKITSRIVASTAVA, Are you making a request as `localhost:8080/test` (for port 8080) — Romil Patel, Jul 19 '19 at 08:59
@ThomasAndolf updated the post with logs on service start up. I run application using command mvn spring-boot:run — ANKIT SRIVASTAVA, Jul 19 '19 at 09:01
@PatelRomil The name of my application is resume-parser. So i try to invoke my application using below url : http://localhost:8080/resume-parser/test — ANKIT SRIVASTAVA, Jul 19 '19 at 09:02
do you have property named "server.context-path" defined in application.properties file? — Dipin, Jul 19 '19 at 09:09
@Dipin No he hasn't. See logs: _Tomcat started on port(s): 8080 (http) with context path ''_ — leopal, Jul 19 '19 at 09:10
@leopal you are right i was using the wrong url havent set any context path in properties file. Getting a 200 response when accessing http://localhost:8080/test — ANKIT SRIVASTAVA, Jul 19 '19 at 09:11
@leopal how could i access my application on http://localhost:8080/resume-parser/test? — ANKIT SRIVASTAVA, Jul 19 '19 at 09:22
@ANKITSRIVASTAVA Check [this](https://stackoverflow.com/a/20418450/9381897) answer. — leopal, Jul 19 '19 at 09:27
