SpringBoot project - static webpage link to endpoint is wrong when no final slash in URL

[lauracowen]

To reproduce:

1. Generate a Spring Boot project and download it.
2. Run locally using mvn clean install liberty:run-server.
3. The webpage that's displayed at http://localhost:9080/myLibertyApp (note, no final / ) contains a link labelled "/springbootweb" which points to http://localhost:9080/springbootweb (and gives context not found message) instead of http://localhost:9080/myLibertyApp/springbootweb (which works as intended).
4. If, however, you go to http://localhost:9080/myLibertyApp/ (note, a final / ) clicking the /springbootweb link on the webpage works fine.

This might be an issue with all the tech types, not just Spring
