Spring-boot lose default index.html redirect when changing server.servlet.path

I've lost the automatic forward to index.html enabled by spring-boot-starter-web since I changed the server.servlet.path=/spring to have acuators endpoints under /spring.

I have a pure REST API app, I'm using Jersey for my endpoints @ApplicationPath("/user), but I want to use the default / context to redirect to index.html for an API documentation.

I've tried the solution indicated in Java Spring Boot: How to map my app root (“/”) to index.html? but to no avail:

@Configuration
public class WebMvcConfiguration {

   @Bean
   public WebMvcConfigurerAdapter forwardToIndex() {
    return new WebMvcConfigurerAdapter() {
        @Override
        public void addViewControllers(ViewControllerRegistry registry) {
            // redirect requests to / to index.html
            registry.addViewController("/").setViewName("redirect:/index.html");
        }
    };
}

Is it possible to enable it ?

Well, you're not serving / at all now. Since your change, Spring Boot only handles whatever comes at /spring.

That code of yours is actually asking /spring/ to redirect to /spring/index.html.
