What does trigger the 404? The general application/frontend or a backend api call?

[Johann771]

The general app, i see the app on tomcat manager but when i click, 404. To install the app i just dropped the file.war in the webapps folder.

JHipster only supports root context path out of the box. The file should be named ROOT.war.

Context path should be configured at build time at bundlers. Closing since the current reproduction steps is invalid/not supported.
