Question
I am trying to adapt the REST Controller example on the Spring Boot website.
Unfortunately I've got the following error when I am trying to access the
localhost:8080/item URL.

"status": 404,
"error": "Not Found",
"message": "No message available",
"path": "/item"
}

Starter-Application:
package com.nice.application;
@SpringBootApplication // same as @Configuration @EnableAutoConfiguration @ComponentScan
public class InventoryApp {
public static void main( String[] args ) {
SpringApplication.run( InventoryApp.class, args );
}
}
REST-Controller:
package com.nice.controller;
@RestController // shorthand for @Controller and @ResponseBody rolled together
public class ItemInventoryController {
public ItemInventoryController() {
}
@RequestMapping( "/item" )
public String getStockItem() {
return "It's working...!";
}
}
I am building this project with Maven. Started it as jar (spring-boot:run) and as well inside the IDE (Eclipse).

What I've tried so far:
- Accessing the URL with the application name (InventoryApp)
- Put another
@RequestMapping("/")at class level of theItemInventoryController
As far as I understood, I won't need an application-context when using Spring Boot. Am I right?
What else can I do to access the method via URL?
Answer
Try adding the following to your InventoryApp class
@SpringBootApplication
@ComponentScan(basePackageClasses = ItemInventoryController.class)
public class InventoryApp {
...
spring-boot will scan for components in packages below com.nice.application,
so if your controller is in com.nice.controller you need to scan for it
explicitly.
