Porta do TomCat dando Access Error: 404 -- Not Found

Oi Bianca

O Controller foi criado conforme abaixo?

package br.com.alura.forum.controller;

import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ResponseBody;

@Controller
public class HelloController {

    @RequestMapping("/")
    @ResponseBody
    public String hello() {
        return "Hello World!";
    }

}

Veja se o pom.xml tem alguma diferença também:

Obrigada pelo retorno.

Vi que a minha porta 8080 que vem como padrão estava ocupada. Alterei a porta e resolveu.
