Spring Boot - Rest Controller fails after hot swap

Question

I'm using Spring Boot 1.4.1 with devtools and run it within IntelliJ 14.1 All works nicely except the hot swap. My changes to the controllers are hot swapped and I can see the app being re-loaded. However, it results in an error and the controller become unavailable (404). After I restart the app, all works fine again.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong ?

Thank you in advance for your help Edward

To answer my question, the problem is resolved by adding the following to the application.properties

## Amount of time (in milliseconds) to wait between polling for classpath changes.
spring.devtools.restart.poll-interval=3000

# Amount of quiet time (in milliseconds) required without any classpath changes before a restart is triggered.
spring.devtools.restart.quiet-period=2999
