I started a new Spring boot project, I want to change the port number and I read that I have to modify the /resource/application.properties
to do so.
I cannot locate this file however, did I miss something? Do I need to install a boot starter? I don't want to set this using the spring CLI.
Should I create this file manually? If so, I think I'll have to mark this file as the properties file somewhere in the code. Where would that be?
Thanks a lot!
You will need to add the application.properties
file in your classpath.
If you are using Maven or Gradle, you can just put the file under src/main/resources
.
If you are not using Maven or any other build tools, put that under your src folder and you should be fine.
Then you can just add an entry server.port = xxxx
in the properties file.
