Class SpringBootServletInitializer

java.lang.Object

org.springframework.boot.web.support.SpringBootServletInitializer

All Implemented Interfaces:

WebApplicationInitializer

public abstract class SpringBootServletInitializer
extends Object
implements WebApplicationInitializer

An opinionated WebApplicationInitializer to run a SpringApplication from a traditional WAR deployment. Binds Servlet, Filter and ServletContextInitializer beans from the application context to the servlet container.

To configure the application either override the configure(SpringApplicationBuilder) method (calling SpringApplicationBuilder.sources(Object...)) or make the initializer itself a @Configuration. If you are using SpringBootServletInitializer in combination with other WebApplicationInitializers you might also want to add an @Ordered annotation to configure a specific startup order.

Note that a WebApplicationInitializer is only needed if you are building a war file and deploying it. If you prefer to run an embedded container then you won't need this at all.

1.4.0

Method Detail

setRegisterErrorPageFilter

protected final void setRegisterErrorPageFilter(boolean registerErrorPageFilter)

Set if the ErrorPageFilter should be registered. Set to false if error page mappings should be handled via the Servlet container and not Spring Boot.

Parameters:

registerErrorPageFilter - if the ErrorPageFilter should be registered.

onStartup

public void onStartup(ServletContext servletContext)
               throws ServletException

Specified by:

onStartup in interface WebApplicationInitializer

Throws:

ServletException

createRootApplicationContext

protected WebApplicationContext createRootApplicationContext(ServletContext servletContext)

createSpringApplicationBuilder

protected SpringApplicationBuilder createSpringApplicationBuilder()

Returns the SpringApplicationBuilder that is used to configure and create the SpringApplication. The default implementation returns a new SpringApplicationBuilder in its default state.

Returns:

the SpringApplicationBuilder.

Since:

1.3.0

run

protected WebApplicationContext run(SpringApplication application)

Called to run a fully configured SpringApplication.

Parameters:

application - the application to run

Returns:

the WebApplicationContext

configure

protected SpringApplicationBuilder configure(SpringApplicationBuilder builder)

Configure the application. Normally all you would need to do is to add sources (e.g. config classes) because other settings have sensible defaults. You might choose (for instance) to add default command line arguments, or set an active Spring profile.

Parameters:

builder - a builder for the application context

Returns:

the application builder
