In previous post, we saw how to change spring boot application’s server port number. In this article, we will learn different ways to change application’s context path.
By default, spring boot application’s context path is set to “/“.
We can change spring boot application’s context path in different ways. Following are few of the methods, to change spring boot application’s context path.
Using configuration file
We can set spring boot application’s context path using server.servlet.context-path property.
application.properties
server.servlet.context-path=/myapp
application.yml
server:
servlet:
context-path: /myapp
Using command line arguments
We can change context path by passing command line argument during run command.
java -jar -Dserver.servlet.context-path=/myapp myapp.jar
Context path programmatic customization
We can use WebServerFactoryCustomizer interface to change spring boot application’s context path.
@SpringBootApplication
public class SpringBootTestApplication implements WebServerFactoryCustomizer<ConfigurableServletWebServerFactory> {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(SpringBootTestApplication.class, args);
}
@Override
public void customize(ConfigurableServletWebServerFactory factory) {
factory.setContextPath("/myapp");
}
}
Conclusion
In this article we learned about different methods to change spring boot application’s context path.
Happy learning 🙂 🙂
