Adding a RestController to hapi-fhir-jpaserver-starter?

[Sean McIlvenna]

Can anyone provide some Spring Boot expertise on how to add a RestController to the hapi-fhir-jpaserver-starter project?
I have a copy of the hapi-fhir-jpaserver-starter project, and need to add some custom functionality to it. Wanting to do that in a separate @RestController... But, can't figure out how to get Spring Boot to recognize the new @RestController and routes. Whenever I do a GET/POST/PUT to the @RestController, Spring just responds with 404.

I'm not a boot expert, but I'd speculate you need to create a spring config class (annotated with both @Configuration and @EnableWebMvc) and then either register it in the "overlayRegistrationBean()" method, or duplicate that method. That config class should contain a bean definition for your controller.

Thanks for responding James!

I figured out that my @RestController was being registered with SpringBoot, but the `overlayRegistrationBean()` route `registrationBean.addUrlMappings("/*");` was overriding it.

As soon as I removed `overlayRegistrationBean()` the @RestController worked as expected...

Any ideas on how to tell the overlay to ignore a route, like it does with "/fhir/*"?

I know this is an old question, but it shouldn't hurt to note that this issue was solved just recently thanks to pull request https://github.com/hapifhir/hapi-fhir-jpaserver-starter/pull/620 (method overlayRegistrationBean gets deleted).

Thanks, this was very helpful and removing the  overlayRegistrationBean method worked like a charm.
