Postman output "status":404,"error":"Not Found","path":"/api/employees" - mysql

Question

the spring boot REST app with MySQL
I am trying to add record to DB and expect the record added and postman got it as output instead of the output "status":404,"error":"Not Found","path":"/api/employees" following is the classes
package com.controller;
import org.springframework.http.HttpStatus;
import org.springframework.http.ResponseEntity;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.PostMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestBody;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;
import com.service.EmployeeService;
import com.model.Employee;
#RestController
#RequestMapping("/api")
public class EmployeeController {
private EmployeeService employeeservice;
public EmployeeController(EmployeeService employeeservice) {
super();
this.employeeservice = employeeservice;
}
//build create Employee REST API
#PostMapping("/employees")
public ResponseEntity<Employee> saveEmployee(#RequestBody Employee employee)
{
return new ResponseEntity<Employee>(employeeservice.saveEmployee(employee), HttpStatus.CREATED);
}
}
package com;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.data.jpa.repository.config.EnableJpaRepositories;
#EnableJpaRepositories(
basePackages = {"com.model"})
#SpringBootApplication(scanBasePackages = {"service.impl"})
public class RestapimysqlApplication {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(RestapimysqlApplication.class, args);
}
}

Answer 1

It doesn't look like you're scanning the package that contains your REST controller (i.e. com.controller), seems like you're only scanning the service.impl package on your RestapimysqlApplication class.
You should probably add the com.controller to the list of packages being scanned by Spring here:
#EnableJpaRepositories(basePackages = {"com.repository"})
#SpringBootApplication(scanBasePackages = {"service.impl", "com"})
#EntityScan({"com.model"})
public class RestapimysqlApplication {
...
}
