I am trying to create my first rest API using this simple tutorial https://spring.io/guides/gs/rest-service/ and cannot seem to find it online. First off, it installs through mvn clean install successfully and then when I run on server with tomcat it opens browser to http://localhost:8080/rest-service/ but returns Status 404. I have tried messing with the URL to give different end points but it is unsuccessful. I cloned from "git clone https://github.com/spring-guides/gs-rest-service.git"
Tried:
http://localhost:8080/rest-service/greeting
http://localhost:8080/rest-service/greeting?name=test
http://localhost:8080/greeting?name=test
http://localhost:8080/gs-rest-service/greeting
http://localhost:8080/gs-rest-service/greeting?name=test
The tutorial states: "When you finish, you can check your results against the code in gs-rest-service/complete" my project does not contain a complete folder.
The pom.xml:
<parent> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId> <version>2.4.2</version> <relativePath/> <!-- lookup parent from repository --> </parent> <groupId>com.example</groupId> <artifactId>rest-service</artifactId> <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version> <name>rest-service</name> <description>Demo project for Spring Boot</description> <properties> The tomcat server is online and running because other applications are hosted on it and I can successfully find them on a browser. However, the server.xml file states port # is 8089 meanwhile I navigate to http://localhost:8080/project_name to find other projects.
Greating controller exists as so:
@RestController public class GreetingController { private static final String template = "Hello, %s!"; private final AtomicLong counter = new AtomicLong(); @GetMapping("/greeting") public Greeting greeting(@RequestParam(value = "name", defaultValue = "World") String name) { return new Greeting(counter.incrementAndGet(), String.format(template, name)); } } UPDATE WITH LOG
