Spring Boot: Cannot access REST Controller on localhost (404)
Try adding the following to your InventoryApp class
@SpringBootApplication
@ComponentScan(basePackageClasses = ItemInventoryController.class)
public class InventoryApp {
...
spring-boot will scan for components in packages below com.nice.application
, so if your controller is in com.nice.controller
you need to scan for it explicitly.
Adding to MattR's answer:
As stated in here, @SpringBootApplication
automatically inserts the needed annotations: @Configuration
, @EnableAutoConfiguration
, and also @ComponentScan
; however, the @ComponentScan
will only look for the components in the same package as the App, in this case your com.nice.application
, whereas your controller resides in com.nice.controller
. That's why you get 404 because the App didn't find the controller in the application
package.
