@RestController
@RequestMapping("/basic")
public class BasicController {
@RequestMapping("/home")
public String home() {
return "This is home.";
}
@GetMapping("/welcome")
public String welcome() {
return "Welcome to this simple microservice";
}
}
application.properties file
spring.application.name = mySampleService
server.port = 8081
Step 2 – Run and test the microservice through gateway
Hit the following url – http://localhost:8111/basic/home
