java - How can I map a Spring Boot @RepositoryRestResource to a specific url?

Question

I cannot seem to be able to map my Repository in any location other than the following:

@RepositoryRestResource(collectionResourceRel = "item", path = "item")
public interface ItemRepository extends PagingAndSortingRepository<Item, Long> {

I thought I can use:

 path = "/some/other/path/item"

but the mapping does not resolve. I get:

HTTP ERROR 404

Problem accessing /some/other/path/item. Reason:

Not Found

In spring-data javadoc path is defined as: "The path segment under which this resource is to be exported."

What am I doing wrong?

To change the base URI, you can also just add this to application.properties:

spring.data.rest.base-path=/my/base/uri
