Springboot embedded tomcat binds to IPV6

Question

I am working on a rest api using springboot, I am facing small issue when I try to deploy the jar it auto binds to ipv6 which we do not want, I know I can use external tomcat. But just for the sake of learning I was wondering if it is possible to force it to bind to ipv4 instead?

Thanks Sajid

You can use server.address in your application.properties file to control the network address to which you app will bind.
