Answer

You have to add the context path in the url - localhost:8080/<context-path>/sample. Typically Context path would be your war file name if you deploy the app on Tomcat. If your war file name is helloworld.war, then the URL would be localhost:8080/helloworld/sample.

If you are using Tomcat configured in Eclipse, you can set the context-path in the Modules tab.

Ways to Deploy your application to Tomcat root -

You can do it by simply naming the war file as ROOT.war
In ROOT.xml file, you have to specify this configuration <Context docBase="pathToWarFile" path="" reloadable="true" /> and make sure that your war file is not in webapps folder.

If you deploy the application to the tomcat root, then there is no need to specify the context path. You will get the homepage of your app with the url localhost:8080/. In your case, you can call the controller method with the url localhost:8080/sample.

Question 2

I have a sample spring rest mvc application which has the following java code:

SampleController.java

import org.apache.logging.log4j.Logger;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.util.StringUtils;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.PathVariable;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestBody;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestParam;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ResponseBody;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;

@RestController
@RequestMapping("sample")
public class SampleController {
        @RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET, produces = "application/json")
        @ResponseBody
        public String getBatches()//@RequestParam(name = "name", required = true) String name)
        {
                return "Hello ";
        }
}
