We have created spring application, this is running in tomcat and resources(css, images and js) are coming from apache. We are trying to enable ssl but we are not able to get resources from apache. In console getting exception like resources could not be loaded. Can any one please help me.
You should probably use Apache as a reverse proxy to tomcat. This way, everything will go through Apache. Resources will be served directly, and requests to the appication will be proxied to your tomcat server:

I am a little out of my league on this one as I am still getting familiar with everything Springboot. Onto my problem...
I am unable to access actuator for an application that is running in a fat jar file on an application server. All works great when I run the application locally through Eclipse as I am perfectly able to access a couple of the endpoints (health, logfile) via a browser and Postman.
However, when I attempt to access those same endpoints (via curl, a browser or Postman) using the application server's url, I get a 404. I am able to access other custom written apis within the application with no issue, just not actuator apis.
I know I am missing something very obvious, but cannot figure out what that is.
Good - http://localhost:9091/actuator/health --> from a browser or Postman
Not good - http://my-app-testserver-01:9090/actuator/health or curl localhost:9090/actuator/healthand both yield the below error. NOTE that the curl is performed on the application server.
"timestamp":"2022-06-30T20:57:12.191+00:00","status":404,"error":"Not Found","path":"/actuator/health"
What else? Oh yeah, below is a snippet from my yml file pertaining to actuator and I believe that is ok.
Any insight on this is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
management:
server:
port: 9090
endpoints:
web:
exposure:
include: "health,info,logfile" ```
This is all set now. I was setting up the application on a new server and had to have the ports opened up for me. Once that was done I was able to access the Actuator apis with no issues.
I created spring boot api with gradle build. everything working fine in my local.
I deployed angular app in Sites/DefaultsTest in IIS web server. it run in https://example.app.com/app
SpringBoot API base path is '/api'
I want to deploy spring boot api in same windows server machine and should able to access through Angular App globally.
please guide me.

As far as I know, the spring boot API is a java web application, we don't suggest you directly hosted the java web application in the IIS.
I suggest you could try to install a docker or using tomcat to host the application, then you could use IIS reverse proxy to redirect the request to that API to get the result.
More details about how host the spring boot application on the docker, you could refer to below article.
https://blog.codecentric.de/en/2017/04/ansible-docker-windows-containers-spring-boot/
More details about how to use IIS reverse proxy, you could refer to below article.

I have deployed a Spring Boot application via Elastic Beanstalk. I'm using a load balancer, so this is the flow (as far as I understand):
Internet/Browser request ---HTTPS---> Load Balancer ---HTTP---> Spring Boot App Server
So essentially, the SSL terminates at the load balancer and the app server just deals with plain old HTTP.
But in the case of a HTTP request from the browser, I would like the load balancer to automatically redirect to HTTPS.
There are several questions about this issue:
Spring Boot with Embedded Tomcat behind AWS ELB - HTTPS redirect
How to redirect automatically to https with Spring Boot
Spring Boot redirect HTTP to HTTPS
But none of the answers to these questions make sense to me. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding, but all the answers basically make the Spring Boot app only server HTTPS request (for example when using http.requiresChannel().anyRequest().requiresSecure()).
However, this goes against the flow because I'm perfectly fine with the SSL terminating at the load balancer and the Spring Boot app server just dealing with HTTP. So if I require SSL at the spring boot level, then I'll need to do an end-to-end SSL connection, which isn't really required for my application.
I have also used the following properties, which don't seem to help either:
server.tomcat.remote-ip-header=x-forwarded-for
server.tomcat.protocol-header=x-forwarded-proto
With the help of this article, I was finally able to figure out how to do this for a Spring Boot app in an ELB environment.
I had to create a conf file in src/main/webapp/.ebextensions/nginx/conf.d. I just called it myconf.conf.
In myconf.conf, I put this code in:
server {
listen 80;
server_name www.my-site.com;
if ($http_x_forwarded_proto != "https") {
rewrite ^(.*)$ https://$server_name$REQUEST_URI permanent;
}
}
Also, make sure that both HTTP and HTTPS listeners are open for the load balancer.
Additionally, my spring boot app only opens up HTTP since the load balancer already terminates SSL.
AWS Load balancer cannot handle redirection. You may do it via your server or by using cloudfront distributions.
So, the answer is probably super easy, but I just can't seem to figure it out.
I have set up a REST webservice, according to this tutorial: https://spring.io/guides/gs/rest-service/ and have set up the Requestmapping and everything using postman, and that end is working like I intended to.
I am setting up my site locally, but when I try to send a get request with jquery, I am receiving the following error: Cross origin requests are only supported for protocol schemes: http, data, chrome, chrome-extension, https.
So I have understood that the problem is that I am trying to run my html from file:// and that the solution is to run it from localhost on the tomcat server and found this answer in another topic: Deploying just HTML, CSS webpage to Tomcat
However, I cannot find such a webapps folder, and I am assuming it is because my tomcat server is deployed using maven and springboot. So how do I deploy my html/js on the tomcat server when it is deployed this way?
I am working on a mac and with IntelliJ.
In your spring boot application you can put your index.html file in src/main/resources/static directory and it will be served by the application.
Also you may try to configure CORS in spring boot, see this answer for links.
If you are deploying normal web applications like jee apps you do it by placing your war file in webapps folder. The web apps folder is inside your tomcat
But for for intellij-idea go through this, it should work:
Where is my app placed when deploying to Tomcat?
We've got a restful api running using spring which generates HATEOAS links. When I run the service locally, they are generated fine, but on our server, which hosts tomcat behind apache which proxies the app to /api/ (locally it's just run on /), the urls are still generated like the app is run on /.
Is there any way to tell spring to use a base url when generating these?
I've figured out my problem. Spring wasn't at fault. When building links, spring uses the X-Forwarded-Host, X-Forwarded-Ssl, etc. and, since 4.1.3, X-Forwarded-Prefix to correctly build urls that will be forwarded by a proxy. This last one however, is not automatically set by apache when proxying, so installing mod_headers and adding RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-Prefix "api"to my LocationMatch directive solved everything.
