Package org.springframework.boot.web.servlet.support

Class SpringBootServletInitializer

java.lang.Object
org.springframework.boot.web.servlet.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 server.

To configure the application either override the configure(SpringApplicationBuilder) method (calling SpringApplicationBuilder.sources(Class...)) 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 web server then you won't need this at all.

    • deregisterJdbcDrivers

      protected void deregisterJdbcDrivers(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.

    • 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
