generator-jhipster-yellowbricks-spring-boot-contextpath

One of - a JHipster blueprint that sets server.servlet.context-path in application.yml to a configurable context path.

JHipster source

• Generator: generators/spring-boot
• Template: application.yml.ejs

What it does

Patches src/main/resources/config/application.yml during generation to insert context-path as the first key in server.servlet:

 server:
   servlet:
+    context-path: /jh/
     session:
       cookie:
         http-only: true

The value is configurable — any context path can be used.

Prerequisites

• Node.js ^22.18.0 || >=24.11.0
• JHipster 9

Installation

npm install -g generator-jhipster-yellowbricks-spring-boot-contextpath

Usage

Create a .yo-rc.json in your project directory with the desired context path:

{
  "generator-jhipster-yellowbricks-spring-boot-contextpath": {
    "contextPath": "/jh/"
  }
}

Then run JHipster with this blueprint:

# Standard generator
jhipster --blueprints yellowbricks-spring-boot-contextpath

# With JDL
jhipster import-jdl your-app.jdl --blueprints yellowbricks-spring-boot-contextpath

Replace /jh/ with your actual context path. The trailing slash is required.
