Changing the base uri for spring data REST application

This is continuation to my previous post.

By default, Spring Data REST serves REST resources at the root URI, '/'.

For example,

http://localhost:8080/

http://localhost:8080/employees

You can change this property by adding below property to application.properties.

spring.data.rest.basePath=/api

Rerun the application after adding this property, you can access the application at below end points.

http://localhost:8080/api

http://localhost:8080/api/employees

Create an employee

Method: POST

API: http://localhost:8080/api/employees

Body:

{

         "firstName" : "Bhadri",

         "lastName" : "Narayana"

}

You will receive below response.

{
  "firstName": "Bhadri",
  "lastName": "Narayana",
  "_links": {
    "self": {
      "href": "http://localhost:8080/api/employees/1"
    },
    "employee": {
      "href": "http://localhost:8080/api/employees/1"
    }
  }
}

You can download complete working application from this link.
