I am using Spring Boot to create a web app, and I am not sure how to change the URL from localhost:8080 to something like localhost:8080/myWebApp.
I have a seen a lot of resources online referencing an application.properties file and adding that to the classpath. But, I'm not sure exactly where to put that.
In my src/main/resources?
How would I assign the URL within the file?

For running the Spring Boot application, open the main application file, and run it as Java Application. When the application runs successfully, it shows the message in the console, as shown below. Now, open the browser and invoke the URL http://localhost:8080.
url=example.com . Then in Your class you do something like: @Service @ConfigurationProperties(prefix="endpoint") public class exampleClass { private String url; //variable name has to match name of the variable definied in application. properties //getter and setter for url is mandatory! }
You need to set the property server.contextPath to /myWebApp.
Check out this part of the documentation
The easiest way to set that property would be in the properties file you are using (most likely application.properties) but Spring Boot provides a whole lot of different way to set properties. Check out this part of the documentation
EDIT
As has been mentioned by @AbdullahKhan, as of Spring Boot 2.x the property has been deprecated and should be replaced with server.servlet.contextPath as has been correctly mentioned in this answer.
