Spring Data Rest base path

You can configure the RepositoryRestMvcConfiguration by overriding it in the following manner:

@Configuration
@Import(RepositoryRestMvcConfiguration.class)
public class RestDataConfig  extends RepositoryRestMvcConfiguration {

  @Override
  protected void configureRepositoryRestConfiguration(RepositoryRestConfiguration config) {
    super.configureRepositoryRestConfiguration(config);
    try {
      config.setBaseUri(new URI("/data"));
    } catch (URISyntaxException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
  }
}

As of Spring Boot 1.2 you are able to set this property:

spring.data.rest.baseUri=api

Alternatively:

spring.data.rest.base-uri=api

(Spring Boot uses a relaxed binding system)

NOTE: I have found that if you have extended RepositoryRestMvcConfiguration with custom configuration, the property does not take effect. For more information see:

https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/issues/2392

Once the next version of Spring Boot is released (after 1.2.1), the solution will be to extend RepositoryRestMvcBootConfiguration instead.

Add to following line to application.properties(Spring boot version 2.2.0.M2)

spring.mvc.servlet.path=/rest

Hope this helps

I used spring boot 1.2.3.REALEASE I tried spring.data.rest.baseUri=/api and spring.data.rest.basePath=/api but it not working.

After try and googling: server.servlet-path=/api worked for me.
