Rest Controller not recognizing GET request in Spring Boot App

I am trying to implement simple demo MVC app with Spring Boot but I get 404 error while executing the application. The uri is `http://localhost:8080/‘ which is to display all the rows in a table called circle.

  • Spring Boot : 1.3.3.RELEASE
  • Java Version : 1.8.0_65
  • Database : Apache Derby 10.12.1.1

Maven Java Project:

Database is up and running, there are 5 rows in the table circle:

The default uri (/beans, /health..) works fine but the implemented controller is not recognized. There is no error of such displayed in the console, below is the dump of logs printed in console after I send the request.

Answer

use a different url for your controller. “/” in spring-boot maps to static resources located in META-INF/resources and src/main/resources/static/ .

edit: forget above and do the following in your application class:

Application.java

package com.nomad.dubbed.app;

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;

@SpringBootApplication
@ComponentScan("com.nomad.dubbed")
public class Application  {

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

}

your rest controller is not discovered by spring-boots component scan. according to this doc http://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/… spring scans the packages below the package where the class with the @SpringBootApplication annotation resides. your controller is located in a parallel package.
