Spring boot controller not found - maven

Question

In my Spring Boot application, I added a new module to the project.
The main pom file :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">

Newly added module's pom file :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
<parent>
<artifactId>sample-admin-api</artifactId>
<groupId>io.sample.crm</groupId>
<version>0.0.2-SNAPSHOT</version>
</parent>
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<artifactId>report-service</artifactId>
<dependencies>
// dependencies
</dependencies>
</project>
So previosly a wrapper was generated. Still the controllers in crm-service module are being mapped but the controllers in the new module report-service are not being mapped. I replaced the new controller with a working mapping path, that doesnt work either. So I considered this to be a fault in the build files. Ideas are appreciated.

Answer 1

Got the solution. If the controller is in a separate module from the Main class just need to add a component scan to the main class pointing to the package that has the controllers in.
