How to make springboot register a RestController? - spring-boot

Question

I havent worked too much with Spring API tools before, have more experience with Jersey. I have looked at many different articles explaining how to get REST endpoints wired up with Springboot and I just dont see why this is not working.
Here are some relevant code snippets:
In application.properties
server.port=5000
The package is com.myproj
#SpringBootApplication(scanBasePackages={"com.myproj"})
public class ClaimsIntakeServiceApplication {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(ClaimsIntakeServiceApplication.class, args);
}
}
In com.myproj.controllers
#Controller
#RequestMapping(value = "/hello")
public class ClaimController {
#GetMapping
public ResponseEntity<Item> read() {
System.out.println("hi");
return new ResponseEntity<>("", HttpStatus.OK);
}
If i hit this URL in postman: https://localhost:5000/hello ..
It says
connection refused
How do I wire up a rest endpoint with springboot so I can hit it with postman as shown above?

Answer 1

Something like this should work:
Main class:
#SpringBootApplication
#ComponentScan(basePackages = {"com.myproj"})
public class HelloWorldApplication {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(HelloWorldApplication.class, args);
}
}
Controller:
#RestController
public class HelloWorldController {
#RequestMapping(path = "/hello-world", method = RequestMethod.GET, produces =
MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE)
public HelloWorldResponse getHelloWorld() {
return new HelloWorldResponse("hello!!");
}
}

For some reason while i get all the stuff for API with this:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.microsoft.azure</groupId>
<artifactId>azure-cosmosdb-spring-boot-starter</artifactId>
<version>2.2.0</version>
</dependency>
I had to include this as well in order for the API to work:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
</dependency>
