In this tutorials, I am going to show you how to change the Spring Boot Context path.
Spring Boot Context Path :
Like changing the server port in spring boot, to change the context path in Spring Boot we have 3 ways.
- By updating the application.properties file,
- By configuring the Embedded Servlet Container and
- By passing the arguments while running the application
Lets see the above 3 scenarios one by one,
application.properties
Spring Boot gives us a property called server.context-path which is used to change the tomcat port from properties file.
To use this, you can update the application.properties like below :
server.port=8085
server.context-path=/Basic_Spring_Boot
Configuring the Embedded Servlet Container :
We can also change the Spring Boot Server Context by obtaining the ConfigurableEmbeddedServletContainer object. It allows us to change the runtime server properties like change the contextPath, serverPort, sessionTimeOut and etc.,
package com.onlinetutorialspoint.spring.boot;
import org.springframework.boot.context.embedded.ConfigurableEmbeddedServletContainer;
import org.springframework.boot.context.embedded.EmbeddedServletContainerCustomizer;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;
@Component
public class CustomContainer implements EmbeddedServletContainerCustomizer {
@Override
public void customize(ConfigurableEmbeddedServletContainer container) {
container.setContextPath("/Basic_Spring_Boot");
}
}
The context path should be starts with “/” and should not ends with “/”, other wise we will get BeanCreationException.
Arguments while running the application :
-Dserver.context-path=/Basic_Spring_Boot
Output :
Based on your requirement, you can use any one among 3 possibilities.
Happy Learning 🙂
