How to configure port for a Spring Boot application

Question

How do I configure the TCP/IP port listened on by a Spring Boot application, so it does not use the default port of 8080.

Answer 1

By default, spring-web module provides an embedded tomcat server that is running under the port number 8080. If you need to change the port number of the application then go to application.properties file and configure the port number by using server.port property.

  server.port= 9876

then your application is running under the port 9876.
