Spring Boot multiple WAR files in 1 Tomcat - spring-boot

Question

we are developing a multi-mandator shop solution for multiple countries, like Sweden, Netherlands, Germany etc. We aim to have 1 WAR file for each mandator and would like to have all of them running in 1 tomcat. Is it possible to have this integrated into Spring-Boot's embedded tomcat?

Answer 1

If the Mandators are different webapps/war files then you can add wars/web apps to the EmbeddedServletContainer(Tomcat), using the tomcat.addWebapp method.
In your spring-boot main class add the following bean.
#Bean
public EmbeddedServletContainerFactory servletContainerFactory() {
return new TomcatEmbeddedServletContainerFactory() {
#Override
protected TomcatEmbeddedServletContainer getTomcatEmbeddedServletContainer(
Tomcat tomcat) {
// Ensure that the webapps directory exists
new File(tomcat.getServer().getCatalinaBase(), "webapps").mkdirs();
try {
Context context = tomcat.addWebapp("/Sweden","Sweden.war");
tomcat.addWebapp("/Netherlands","Netherlands.war");
tomcat.addWebapp("/Germany","Germany.war");
context.setParentClassLoader(getClass().getClassLoader());
} catch (ServletException ex) {
throw new IllegalStateException("Failed to add webapp", ex);
}
return super.getTomcatEmbeddedServletContainer(tomcat);
}
};
}
