I'm using spring-boot-starter-data-rest and spring-boot-starter-web. I've made a simple project using a CrudRepository, letting spring boot generate the rest request mappings.
Now, I want to add a client -- making the rest calls -- live under ./. Hence, I'm trying to prefix the paths for the rest calls (and only those!) with /api.
I've tried the answers from : How to specify prefix for all controllers in Spring Boot? using settings in the application.properties file
- server.contextPath=/api/*
- spring.data.rest.basePath=/api/*.
But still the static content (e.g. index.html, *.js, *.css) is not fetched using ./. There urls are also prefixed by "/api/". The rest calls are properly served under /api/foos.
Is there a way to tell spring not to treat urls that lead to sources located in src/main/resources/public as 'rest-controllers'?
Update
Setting the property
spring.data.rest.basePath=/api/*
works perfectly. (I still had a programmatic bean configuration in my sandbox overriding this setting).
