Spring Rest URL /rest/v1 is beeing added

Question

I am working on a existing project where the restControllers has a restmapping @RequestMapping(value = "/test"). There is no base URL added. I have checked all the option where the baseURL gets added but i dont find any in my application. When i run my server. The way to access is <hostname>/rest/v1/test.Application also uses Spring Hateoas. Can you let me know from where/how do these additional /rest/v1 is getting added?

Answer 1

You should find it configured in web.xml or some spring config xml where the servlet mapping url is done.

Answer 2

If the project is generated using maven then you should see the application name in pom.xml file something like this.

<groupId>com.test</groupId>
<artifactId>rest</artifactId>
<packaging>war</packaging>
<version>0.1.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT</version>
<name>rest</name>

and also check web.xml file inside webappp/WEB-INF directory or any other XML config file if you have.

Answer 3

someone configure it somewhere. search for it in:

• application.properties
  • server.servlet-path = or spring.data.rest.basePath =
• Configuration file: just like @Arnad said
• Configuration Classes: search for a bean named RepositoryRestConfigurer
• search in whole project:
  • in eclipse use Ctrl + h -> File search
  • in intellij: ctrl + shift + f

Answer 4

Probably you have one of these property set in the application.properties file:

server.contextPath=/rest/v1  

or

spring.data.rest.basePath=/rest/v1

You can control the base path of you application from there.

Hope it helps!

Answer 5

With very minimal code that you have added, I can only tell you possible place where the base url might have been configured.

1. On top of your @RestController annotated class.

2. In case of WebApplicationInitializer it must have been added on ServletRegistration.Dynamic something like below:

   ServletRegistration.Dynamic dispatcher = container
         .addServlet("dispatcher", new DispatcherServlet(context));
   
   dispatcher.setLoadOnStartup(1);
   dispatcher.addMapping("/rest/v1/");
