How do I choose the URL for my Spring Boot webapp without port number?

Question

I have production tomcat server running on 8080 port with few war files. Now, I have created a vaadin/spring-boot jar, and I need to deploy it in that server. I have changed the embedded port of spring-boot application to 8082. Its working fine, but the URL is showing like - localhost:8082/statprojectdemo.

And current requirement demands that 8082 should not be seen in the URL. So, Is there anyway I can use the URL as localhost:/statprojectdemo instead of mentioning port number.

Note* - I can't use port number 8080 or 80 as my production tomcat is running on that.

only with a proxy(apache webserver) that runs on port 80 – Jens Jan 08 '20 at 09:12 — Jens, Jan 08 '20 at 09:12

The port number is hard part of the url. So there is no way to direct leave it.

Like Jens said, you need to set up a proxy server that listens on yoururl.com:80/statprojectdemo and communicates with that server on 8082.
