Spring initializr not showing activiti dependency - spring-boot

I am trying to create spring-boot project for activiti but it is not showing activiti dependency.
How can I know that with which springboot version,activiti version is mapped?
Spring Initializr

If you're refererring to Activiti, this is not included in the Spring Initializr so you will need to include this manually yourself.
Go through the Spring Initializr setup
Generate and download the code to your machine
Add the Activiti dependency to your POM or Gradle file:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.activiti</groupId>
<artifactId>activiti-spring-boot-starter-basic</artifactId>
<version>6.0.0</version>
</dependency>
Add the H2 dependency for database (don't use this in production):
<dependency>
<groupId>com.h2database</groupId>
<artifactId>h2</artifactId>
<version>1.4.183</version>
</dependency>
I haven't used Activiti before but this is based on their Spring Boot documentation.

Spring boot 2 doesn't have activiti anymore.
Manually need to add activiti dependency.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.activiti</groupId>
<artifactId>activiti-spring-boot-starter</artifactId>
<version>7.0.0.Beta1</version>
</dependency>

spring boot pom ignoring updated property version

We are currently using spring boot 2.7.4 and we want to use a built in dependency of 2.7.5. I added it to the properties in the pom, but its being ignored. I have done this successfully with other dependencies.
jackson-databind 2.13.4 is a builtin dependency of spring boot 2.7.4
jackson-databind 2.13.4.2 is a dependency of spring boot 2.7.5
<jackson-databind.version>2.13.4.2</jackson-databind.version>
That does not seem to work.
Will spring just ignore an incompatible version automatically ?
Spring boot does not have jackson-databind.version variable. Full list can be seen here
But you can manually specify the required dependency version:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
<artifactId>jackson-databind</artifactId>
<version>2.13.4.2</version>
<scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>
You need to use jackson-bom.version to override via the property.
From the spring-boot-dependencies POM, which is inherited by the spring-boot-starter-parent the following is defeined in 2.7.5,
<dependency>
<groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson</groupId>
<artifactId>jackson-bom</artifactId>
<version>${jackson-bom.version}</version>
<type>pom</type>
<scope>import</scope>
</dependency>
and and the property is set to <jackson-bom.version>2.13.4.20221013</jackson-bom.version>

What is Spring boot 2.5 junit version?

I am using latest version of spring boot. What is spring boot 2.5.4 junit version?
spring-boot-starter-test
And for use Junit5 we should addd jupiter dependency in spring boot 2.5.4?
On the mvnrepository.com you will find it:
org.junit.jupiter ยป junit-jupiter
Version
5.7.2
There you can also click on pom.xml to show the dependency in question:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.junit.jupiter</groupId>
<artifactId>junit-jupiter</artifactId>
<version>5.7.2</version>
<scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>

Autoconfiguation excluded but embedded servlet container is still being used

I've followed all the steps mentioned in the documentation to enable the traditional war deployment for spring boot app i.e excluded the EmbeddedServletContainerAutoConfiguration from the #EnableAutoConfiguration and I only have one such instance. Also extended SpringBootServletInitializer and make sure the packaged war doesnt have any tomcat starter dependency. Also ran the spring boot report and confirmed the EmbeddedServletContainerAutoConfiguration is in the exclusion list.
Apart from all the changes when I deploy the war it is still creating a embedded application context with embedded servlet contatiner.
What did I miss and what other areas can I inspect ? Spring boot version 1.5.13.

Hi Veeram,
We do not need to exclude the AutoConfiguration-classes, but excluding the tomcat dependency is needed.
You need to do is omit tomcat starter dependency from pom.xml. It gets pulled from spring-boot-starter-web as a transitive dependency. So, you need to add exclusion for it:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-tomcat</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
Now, as you are using <packaging>war</packaging> and using SpringBootServletInitializer, we would need servlet-api dependency on the classpath.
So, add the servlet dependency to your pom.xml
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
<artifactId>javax.servlet-api</artifactId>
<version>3.0.1</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
Hope this helps!

My Jersey Spring Boot 1.5.2 project doesn't recognize FormDataMultiPart

I tried to add FormDataMultiPart to my Jersey Spring Boot project. I am using Spring Boot 1.5.2 and the Spring Boot Jersey Starter.
I tried adding the full import org.glassfish.jersey.media.multipart.FormDataMultiPart, but it is not found.
It looks like spring-boot-starter-jersey Maven dependency does not include jersey-media-multipart. You need to add it to your pom.xml. On the other hand, Spring Boot does define a jersey.version property so you can use that to keep the versions in sync.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-jersey</artifactId>
</dependency>
<!-- Multipart not included in Spring Boot. jersey.version defined by Spring Boot. -->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.media</groupId>
<artifactId>jersey-media-multipart</artifactId>
<version>${jersey.version}</version>
</dependency>
Once you add the jersey-media-multipart dependency to Maven, the FormDataMultiPart class can be found.

Difference between the jars for spring web services

I have just started learning on spring webservices but when I search for the tutorials in some examples they added the following dependency for springwscore and in some examples the following dependency for spring-boot-starter-ws.which jar sholud be used and why spring has two jars for spring web services.
The easiest way would be including dependency by adding Spring Ws Core to Maven pom.xml file (if you are using Maven)
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.ws</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-ws-core</artifactId>
<version>2.4.0.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
