[Spring Boot] Set Context path for application in application.properties

If you were using Microservice with Spring Boot to build different REST API endpoints, context path might help you.

For example, you have two endpoints, each in a Microservice application:

1. team

2. players

They both have sub-route such as:

• [GET] info
• [POST] new

For each application you can set up:

team/application.properties:

# all the requests should be prefixed with /team
server.servlet.context-path=/team

players/application.properties:

# all the requests should be prefixed with /team
server.servlet.context-path=/players

 

Now when you access those endpoints, you should add prefix:

localhost:8080/team/info
