aws serverless spring boot set up is failing - spring-boot

Question

here is my setup below,
#SpringBootApplication
#ComponentScan(basePackages = "com.amazonaws.serverless.sample.springboot.controller")
public class Application extends SpringBootServletInitializer {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
}
}
public class LambdaHandler implements RequestStreamHandler {
private SpringBootLambdaContainerHandler<AwsProxyRequest, AwsProxyResponse> handler;
private static ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
private Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(LambdaHandler.class);
#Override
public void handleRequest(InputStream inputStream, OutputStream outputStream, Context context)
throws IOException {
if (handler == null) {
try {
handler = SpringBootLambdaContainerHandler.getAwsProxyHandler(Application.class);
} catch (ContainerInitializationException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
outputStream.close();
return;
}
}
AwsProxyRequest request = mapper.readValue(inputStream, AwsProxyRequest.class);
AwsProxyResponse resp = handler.proxy(request, context);
mapper.writeValue(outputStream, resp);
// just in case it wasn't closed by the mapper
outputStream.close();
}
}
each time when when I am trying invoke my lambda from local console using command - "serverless invoke local -f hello" I am getting below exception,
j

Please HELP me resolve this, I tried various ways of boot setup with aws lambda but failed every time. Please help me fix this or help me out in setting up in any other way. Thanks.

Answer 1

In your logs we can see :
NoClassDefFoundError: javax/servlet/ServletContainerInitializer
ClassNotFoundException: javax.servlet.ServletContainerInitializer
Could you please check if libs are loaded , there must be something missing and not loaded up correctly
Also, something like this has been done
<dependency>
<groupId>com.amazonaws.serverless</groupId>
<artifactId>aws-serverless-java-container-spring</artifactId>
<version>1.3.2</version>
</dependency>
Also double check steps in :

Answer 2

I had the same issue. I was using version 0.2 of aws-serverless-java-container-spring and had to switch to version 1.3.2 as the former version didn't have SpringBootLambdaContainerHandler class.
