Help with vaadin tomcat deployment and nginx reverse proxy.

Hello, i hope this finds you well.

I am trying to deploy my vaadin application on tomcat on a custom context path.
Let us consider the following hypothesis:
website name: foo.com
tomcat context path name: /this/path

Whenever i try to access the web after adding reverse proxy on foo.com to let me access /this/path (with out actually redirecting the url), it always redirects me to foo.com/this/path and i get the following error
This page isn’t working foo.com redirected you too many times. Try clearing your cookies. ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS

The following is my nginx config:

upstream website {
server 127.0.0.1:8080 fail_timeout=0;
}
server {
    #listen       80;
   server_name foo.com;
location / {
       proxy_set_header Host $host;
       proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
       proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
       proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
       proxy_pass http://website/this/path/; <- (if i remove the last slash i get a 404)
       proxy_read_timeout 90;
       proxy_http_version 1.1;
       proxy_request_buffering off;
   }
listen 443 ssl; # managed by Certbot
    ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/foo.com/fullchain.pem; # managed by Certbot
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/foo.com/privkey.pem; # managed by Certbot
    include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-nginx.conf; # managed by Certbot
    ssl_dhparam /etc/letsencrypt/ssl-dhparams.pem; # managed by Certbot
}
server {
    if ($host = www.foo.com) {
        return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
    } # managed by Certbot
if ($host = www.foo.com) {
        return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
    } # managed by Certbot
listen       80;
    server_name  www.foo.com;
    return 404; # managed by Certbot
}

Now my vaadin application, indeed runs with spring boot.

I did try to change the context path from applciation.properties as suggested here [Vaadin Spring Configuration]
(https://vaadin.com/docs/v14/flow/spring/tutorial-spring-configuration.html) But with no luck.
Note that a normal spring boot applciation was configured successfully with the above configuration.

Regards.
Thank you for any support or help.
