Spring boot standalone runs well on local but cannot be accessed on remote server

Question

I implemented a hello world in spring boot.

I am using embedded tomcat and here is my setting in the application.properties.

server.contextPath=/test
server.port=8080

I can access it at [localhost:8080/test/index.html] without problem.

However, after I upload the jar file to the ubuntu 14.04 on digital ocean and start it normally, I am not able to access it at [machine-ipaddress:8080/test/index.html]. It gives me a 404 error.

I can see the application listening to the port.

tcp    0    0    0.0.0.0:8080    0.0.0.0:*    LISTEN    4284/java   

I checked iptable setting and nothing is blocked.

I also tried stop this and run a regular empty tomcat on the remote server and I have no problem accessing [machine-ipaddress:8080].

Any ideas are welcomed.

发现了这个问题。原因是我使用maven webapp原型来创建空项目，将index.html放在webapp下并将其打包为jar 。

奇怪的是我可以使用java -jar test.jar在本地运行它。

将index.html移至resources / static后，它可以在远程服务器上运行。
