Why isn't my spring boot @RequestMapping working?

Question

I have the following:

@RepositoryRestController
public class DataSetController {

     @RequestMapping(value = "/cars/test", method = RequestMethod.GET)
        public String testFetch() {
         return "HELLO";

     }
}

@RepositoryRestResource
public interface DataSetRepository extends PagingAndSortingRepository<DataSet, Integer>, QueryDslPredicateExecutor<DataSet> {}

The logs at startup indicate the following:

2015-08-21 18:49:46.050 INFO 52448 --- [ main] o.s.d.r.w.RepositoryRestHandlerMapping : Mapped "{[/cars/test],methods=[GET]}" onto public java.lang.String com.example.hello.dataset.DataSetController.testFetch()

My base uri in my config is:

base-uri: /api

So I should be able to get localhost:8080/api/cars/test

But here is what I get in the logs:

2015-08-21 18:58:10.847 WARN 52476 --- [nio-8080-exec-1] o.s.web.servlet.PageNotFound : No mapping found for HTTP request with URI [/api/cars/test] in DispatcherServlet with name 'dispatcherServlet'

Why?

It seems that your base URI /api is not set properly in your configuration, that's why the dispatcher can't find a proper mapping.

Since all your requests will have the /api base I suggest you add a @RequestMapping annotation to your Controller :

@RepositoryRestController
@RequestMapping("/api")
public class DataSetController {

}
