Want to change the context path in Spring boot application in an external Tomact server version 9

I want to deploy a Spring boot application in an external Tomcat server version 9. I am able to deploy it and working the endpoints also. But properties I have set in application.properties file those are not working. Like server.servlet.context-path=/myapp is is not working instead the context path which I am getting is http://localhost:8080/myapp-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT/api/ping.
I am using 2.3.10.RELEASE and Java 1.8 and Tomcat version 9.0.46 Can anyone please help me out with this.
But everything is perfectly working on embedded tomcat. Thanks in advance and any suggestion, comment is highly appreciated.
Can anyone please help me with how I can do this - My war file name would be myapp-0.1.war but the context path of the application would be like this localhost:8080/myapp/api/ping

Use finalName property in your build file (pom.xml for maven)
<finalName>myapp</finalName>

When you run a Spring Boot application in an external servlet container, the server.* properties do not apply.
If you are willing to change the naming convention you can drop a WAR file named myapp##0.1.war in the $CATALINA_BASE/webapps directory and benefit from parallel deployment (cf. parallel deployment).
If you want to stick to your naming convention, you can create a folder for your WAR files (e.g. $CATALINA_BASE/webapps-available) and create a deployment descriptor $CATALINA_BASE/conf/<engine_name>/<host_name>/<context_path>.xml (in your case probably $CATALINA_BASE/conf/Catalina/localhost/myapp.xml) with the following content:
<Context docBase="${catalina.base}/webapps-available/myapp-0.1.war" />

Project doesnt deploy to localhost root but deploys to localhost/projecttitle

Alternative title: Unable to find [main.SearchServlet], mapping my servlet in Tomcat whilst using annotations
I'm trying to migrate my web application from java netbeans glassfish jdk 1.8 to eclipse tomcat jdk 1.7.
I keep getting a 405 then 404 error when I try to perform my POST by pressing a button on my loaded index jsp.
javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Name [main.SearchServlet/annj] is not bound in this Context. Unable to find [main.SearchServlet].
I thought that setting a <context root>/</context root> in web.xml would fix this. It did move my loading page from localhost/animelist/index and localhost/animelist down one level to localhost/ and localhost/animelist however it did not fix my error.
As it stands, my project does not run at http://localhost:8080/ or http://localhost:8080/index.jsp . It DOES run at http://localhost:8080/animelist1/ and http://localhost:8080/animelist1/index.jsp
The project works fine in my netbeans setup so my question is what do i need to do for my servlets to be mapped properly in tomcat?
Someone said that " Likely the only problem you have is that the application deployment in your secondary Eclipse isn't working properly yet. As in: the servlet class file is not deployed to the server at all." I'm not sure how to go about fixing this (or googling for it).
I have my classes instanced with
#EJB
private AnnJAXB annj;
and servlet with
#WebServlet(name = "SearchServlet", urlPatterns = { "/search" })
and like i said it all works in netbeans setup.
so do i have to do something with tomcat config or application properties, since deployment should be done automatically? why isn't mainClass.SearchServlet being found?
thankyou for reading. i am near the end i feel . it has been 15 hours trying to deploy this to a host and it is exhausting.

Switch java spring maven project from linux to windows

I am new to spring development so i am stuck here. Is there any configuration while switching spring + maven project from linux to windows. I am running on tomcat server 7. The project is initially developed in linux. I have moved all the file from linux to wondows. While running on server, i get error The requested resource (/myproject/login/) is not available. Do i need to make any changes or add add in configuation.
Thanks in advance.

I think you have missed something.
Try this.but i'am not sure this is working or not.
Tomcat, by default invoker servlet disabled (commented out in the web.xml file). You have to create a 'servlet' and a 'servlet-mapping' entry in your web.xml.
Once you do, you can get rid of the "servlet/" part of your url.
Check out the following URL for more information regarding the invoker servlet:

How do configure grails to preserve your grails.app.context variable when generating a war?

With grails you change the rootContext of the application when running it using grails run-app by using the grails.app.context variable. However, when generating a war grails allows the servlet container to set the context by leaving the configuration out of web.xml. Is there any way to preserve the config in web.xml?

No, there is no way. As said earlier, grails.app.context is used for run-app where we know the embedded servlet container is either Tomcat or Jetty.
In case of a war, the application will not know which container will the war be deployed. It is upto the container to set the context root which vary from one to another.

Setting context for development server [playframework 2.1.3]

I am using Java / Play Framework 2.1.3.
In production, I build a war using the plugin, serve it in tomcat, and tell apache to redirect /myapp to my tomcat app.
In development, I start the server with:
play debug run
And the root for my dev instance is "/".
Now I would like to specify the context for my development instance. For example, I'd like the route to be /myapp but in the routes file I'd like root to still be "/", etc.
How do I do this?

In Play 2.1.x you can specify the context in your application.conf file.
application.context="/myapp"
...or you can do what I do and just run a local Apache instance and do the same thing as you do in prod :)
