Set context root for spring annotation based web app

How can set the context root for a annotation based spring web app? Sample application found in following link, https://github.com/bkielczewski/example-spring-mvc-initializer

In browser I can access it as, http://localhost:8080/

I want to change it as, http://localhost:8080/spring

Thanks, Charith

  • Update your pom.xml to include web-app configuration. See below

    <plugin>
    <groupId>org.eclipse.jetty</groupId>
    <artifactId>jetty-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>9.0.6.v20130930</version>
    <configuration>
          <webApp>
              <contextPath>/spring</contextPath>
          </webApp>
          <httpConnector>
               <port>8080</port>
               <host>localhost</host>
          </httpConnector>
          <scanIntervalSeconds>10</scanIntervalSeconds>
    </configuration>
</plugin>
