How to Add Context Path to a Spring Boot Application

In a Spring Boot application, the context path represents the base URL for accessing your application. By default, it's set to '/',

For example, in the following code snippet

@RestController
@RequestMapping(value = "/products")
public class ProductController {

    @GetMapping
    public List<Product> getProducts() {
        return ResponseEntity.ok(productService.getProducts());
    }

    @GetMapping(value = "/{productId}")
    public Product getProduct(@PathVariable(value = "id") Long id) {        
			//Your service logic goes here..
      return product;
    }

To test this locally, we need to hit

http://localhost:8080/products
http://localhost:8080/products/{productId}

But sometimes you might want to change the path to make it more meaningful or to avoid conflicts. So, how do we do that?”

To change the context path, you need to add the following property to your application.properties file.

server.servlet.context-path=/api/1.0

Alternatively, if you're using the application.yaml file, you can do this

server:
   servlet:
     context-path: '/api/1.0'

http://localhhost:8080/api/1.0/products
http://localhhost:8080/api/1.0/products/{productId}
