Spring Boot: Cannot access REST Controller on loca

I am trying to adapt the REST Controller example on the Spring Boot website. Unfortunately I've got the following error when I am trying to access the localhost:8080/item URL.

{
  "timestamp": 1436442596410,
  "status": 404,
  "error": "Not Found",
  "message": "No message available",
  "path": "/item"
}

Starter-Application:

package com.nice.application;
@SpringBootApplication // same as @Configuration @EnableAutoConfiguration @ComponentScan
public class InventoryApp {
   public static void main( String[] args ) {
      SpringApplication.run( InventoryApp.class, args );
   }
}

REST-Controller:

package com.nice.controller; 
@RestController // shorthand for @Controller and @ResponseBody rolled together
public class ItemInventoryController {
   public ItemInventoryController() {
   }

   @RequestMapping( "/item" )
   public String getStockItem() {
      return "It's working...!";
   }

}

I am building this project with Maven. Started it as jar (spring-boot:run) and as well inside the IDE (Eclipse).

What I've tried so far:

Accessing the URL with the application name (InventoryApp)
Put another @RequestMapping("/") at class level of the ItemInventoryController

As far as I understood, I won't need an application-context when using Spring Boot. Am I right?

What else can I do to access the method via URL?

回答1:

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.

回答2:

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.

回答3:

SpringBoot developers recommend to locate your main application class in a root package above other classes. Using a root package also allows the @ComponentScan annotation to be used without needing to specify a basePackage attribute. Detailed info But be sure that the custom root package exists.

回答4:

I had this issue and what you need to do is fix your packages. If you downloaded this project from http://start.spring.io/ then you have your main class in some package. For example if the package for the main class is: "com.example" then and your controller must be in package: "com.example.controller". Hope this helps.

回答5:

There are 2 method to overcome this

Method 1)Place the bootup application at start of the package structure and rest all controller inside it Example : package com.spring.boot.app; - You bootup application(i.e. Main Method -SpringApplication.run(App.class, args);)

You Rest Controller in with the same package structure Example : package com.spring.boot.app.rest;

Method 2)Explicitly define the Controller in the Bootup package.

Method 1 is more cleaner.

Hope this will help.

回答6:

Same 404 response I got after service executed with the below code

@Controller
@RequestMapping("/duecreate/v1.0")
public class DueCreateController {

}

Response:

{
"timestamp": 1529692263422,
"status": 404,
"error": "Not Found",
"message": "No message available",
"path": "/duecreate/v1.0/status"
}

after changing it to below code I received proper response

@RestController
@RequestMapping("/duecreate/v1.0")
public class DueCreateController {

}

Response:

{
"batchId": "DUE1529673844630",
"batchType": null,
"executionDate": null,
"status": "OPEN"
}

回答7:

You need to modify the Starter-Application class as shown below.

@SpringBootApplication

@EnableAutoConfiguration

@ComponentScan(basePackages="com.nice.application")

@EnableJpaRepositories("com.spring.app.repository")

public class InventoryApp extends SpringBootServletInitializer {..........

And update the Controller, Service and Repository packages structure as I mentioned below.

Example: REST-Controller

package com.nice.controller; --> It has to be modified as
package com.nice.application.controller;

You need to follow proper package structure for all packages which are in Spring Boot MVC flow.

So, If you modify your project bundle package structures correctly then your spring boot app will work correctly.

回答8:

Replace @RequestMapping( "/item" ) with @GetMapping(value="/item", produces=MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE).

Maybe it will help somebody.

回答9:

Place your springbootapplication class in root package for example if your service,controller is in springBoot.xyz package then your main class should be in springBoot package otherwise it will not scan below packages

回答10:

Your URL should be, you are missing the application context: localhost:8080/SpringBootTest/item
