Deploying a Spring Boot application over tomcat with Websocket configuration - spring-boot

Question

I have a spring boot application with Spring websocket dependency. The app runs fine over my Intellij IDE but when deploying over TC server, it fails to starts the application.
I do have tomcat server dependency as provided and app extends SpringBootServletInializer.
Here are my classes
Main Class
package hello;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.builder.SpringApplicationBuilder;
import org.springframework.boot.web.support.SpringBootServletInitializer;
#SpringBootApplication
public class Application extends SpringBootServletInitializer {
#Override
protected SpringApplicationBuilder configure(SpringApplicationBuilder application) {
return application.sources(Application.class);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
}
}
Greeting Controller
package hello;
import org.springframework.messaging.handler.annotation.MessageMapping;
import org.springframework.messaging.handler.annotation.SendTo;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.CrossOrigin;
#Controller
#CrossOrigin
public class GreetingController {
#MessageMapping("/hello")
#SendTo("/topic/greetings")
public Greeting greeting(HelloMessage message) throws Exception {
System.out.println("Received at controller level" + message.getName());
//Thread.sleep(1000); // simulated delay
return new Greeting("Hello, " + message.getName() + "!");
}
}
One of the Rest controller
package hello;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.*;
/**
* Created on 4/19/2018.
*/
#RestController
public class NewRestTestController {
#GetMapping("/test")
public String testControl(){
System.out.println("Request received");
return "Rest Call tested successfully";
}
}
Websocket Config Class
package hello;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.EnableAutoConfiguration;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.web.WebMvcAutoConfiguration;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.messaging.simp.config.MessageBrokerRegistry;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.CrossOrigin;
import org.springframework.web.socket.config.annotation.AbstractWebSocketMessageBrokerConfigurer;
import org.springframework.web.socket.config.annotation.EnableWebSocketMessageBroker;
import org.springframework.web.socket.config.annotation.StompEndpointRegistry;
#Configuration
#EnableWebSocketMessageBroker()
#CrossOrigin(origins = "*")
public class WebSocketConfig extends AbstractWebSocketMessageBrokerConfigurer {
#Override
public void configureMessageBroker(MessageBrokerRegistry config) {
config.enableSimpleBroker("/topic");
config.setApplicationDestinationPrefixes("/app");
}
#Override
public void registerStompEndpoints(StompEndpointRegistry registry) {
registry.addEndpoint("/websocket").setAllowedOrigins("*").withSockJS();
}
}

When I deploy the app on TC server, I get the following error over server logs

Answer 1

I was able to resolve the issue by excluding "WebMvcAutoConfiguration.class" from starter class of the application.
#SpringBootApplication(exclude = WebMvcAutoConfiguration.class)
The code works fine with websocket now. I am able to receive responses from the websocket server.
