Migrating Spring Rest Service Application to Spring Boot (Part II)

As I mentioned in my previous post, things were not going smoothly. I got a weird java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException which was hard to explain. After some Googling I found an explanation.  Turns out the culprit was @Repository annotation in the Repository interfaces which is not needed there. Removing the annotation fixed the issue.

I ran the application and I was able to make REST calls  at localhost:8080/resturl. VICTORY!!!

Wait... Not so fast. I need to add v1/ in front resturl for versioning so the call would be like localhost:8080/v1/resturl .

Hmm. For that I needed to register DispatcherServlet and define the mapping:

	@Bean
	public DispatcherServlet dispatcherServlet() {
	return new DispatcherServlet();
	}
	@Bean
	public ServletRegistrationBean dispatchcherServletRegistration(){
	ServletRegistrationBean registrationBean =new ServletRegistrationBean(dispatcherServlet(), "/rest/v1/*");
	registrationBean
	.setName(DispatcherServletAutoConfiguration.DEFAULT_DISPATCHER_SERVLET_REGISTRATION_BEAN_NAME );
	return registrationBean;
	}

I also needed to add a custom filter for Dispatcher Servlet. That was easy:

	@Bean
	public CustomFilter customFilter(){
	return new CustomFilter();
	}
	@Bean
	public FilterRegistrationBean customFilterRegistration(){
	FilterRegistrationBean customFilterRegistration=new FilterRegistrationBean(metricsFilter(), dispatcherServletRegistration());
	return customFilterRegistration;
	}

Now I am ready to deploy. But how do I that?
