title: spring-data-rest override @RequestMapping
body: <p>Using <strong>spring-boot</strong> and <strong>spring-data-rest</strong> to create a quick starter web app template. </p>
  
  <p>I want the root <code>/</code> to be allowed through to the <code>src/resources/public/index.html</code> file so I can have my front end start up but using <strong>spring-data-rest</strong> the <code>org.springframework.data.rest.webmvc.RepositoryController</code> is mapped to <code>/</code>.</p>
  
  <p>How can I move its mapping to say <code>/rest</code>? I can find how to amend the BaseUrl for the <code>RestRepositories</code> but  not how to free up <code>/</code> ?</p>
