Rest Controller method not getting called in spring boot

I am implementing rest webservice via a spring boot application.

application.properties

server.port=8082
server.contexPath=/services
logging.level.org.springframework.web = DEBUG
logging.level.com.myCompany= INFO
logging.file = ../logs/services.log

Application launcher class

@SpringBootApplication
public class Application {

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

Controller

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

@RestController
public class AccountRestController {

    private static final Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(AccountRestController.class);

    @RequestMapping(value="/account", method=RequestMethod.GET)
    public void createAccount(){
        logger.info("ACCOUNT METHOD CALLED");
    }
} 

I see Did not find handler method for [/services/account] message in the console when I fire http://localhost:8082/services/account URL in the browser as shown below

2018-02-06 08:30:42.868 DEBUG 7532 --- [http-nio-8082-exec-3] s.w.s.m.m.a.RequestMappingHandlerMapping : Looking up handler method for path /services/account

I dont see message – ACCOUNT METHOD CALLED in the console meaning controller method is not getting invoked.Can you please let me know why createAccount() method not getting called ?
Is controller class getting identified/scanned by Spring factory?
What is causing this error?

Answer

Please change server.contexPath to server.contextPath.

And try again, it should work as there’s no extra config or code is there.
