If I add spring boot actuator dependency my server doesn't start. I get the following error:
SEVERE [main] org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.deployDescriptor Error deploying deployment descriptor [tomcat path\conf\Catalina\localhost\test.xml]

Any ideas why? From my knowledge even if the versions aren't compatible the server should still be able to start.
Edit:
My WebAppInitializer:
public class WebAppInitializer implements WebApplicationInitializer {
public void onStartup(ServletContext servletContext) throws ServletException {
System.out.println(("------------------ Sync context initialized and application started ------------------"));
AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext ctx = new AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext();
// ctx.register(ServletContextListener.class);
// ctx.register(SecurityConfiguration.class);
// ctx.register(SpringFoxConfig.class);
// ctx.register(WebMvcConfigure.class);
// ctx.register(JPAConfiguration.class);
// ctx.setServletContext(servletContext);
// Reconfigure log4j
// ServletContext sctx = ctx.getServletContext();
System.setProperty("logFilename", servletContext.getContextPath().substring(1));
org.apache.logging.log4j.core.LoggerContext sctxLog =
(org.apache.logging.log4j.core.LoggerContext) LogManager.getContext(false);
sctxLog.reconfigure();
//Dispatcher servlet
ServletRegistration.Dynamic servlet = servletContext.addServlet("mvc-dispatcher", new DispatcherServlet(ctx));
servlet.setLoadOnStartup(1);
servlet.addMapping("/");
ctx.close();
}
}
Error stack after adding #EnableAutoConfiguration
If you want benefit from the automatic features of Spring Boot, your #Configuration class must be annotated with #EnableAutoConfiguration.
Since the auto-configuration already creates a DispatcherServlet bound to /, you can safely change your WebAppInitializer class to:
#SpringBootApplication
public class WebAppInitializer extends SpringBootServletInitializer {
}
I have a ApplicationInitializer class that implements WebApplicationInitializer and in it I am adding my own ContextLoaderListener. When I am running my app in STS it is running perfectly, but when I try to deploy the war file in my tomcat, the application does not deploy and gives the following multiple context listener error:

10-Oct-2019 10:52:11.240 INFO [Catalina-utility-2] org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationContext.log Closing Spring root WebApplicationContext
I read the following documentation:
https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/htmlsingle/#howto-create-a-deployable-war-file
From what I understood is I can completely remove my AppInitializer class and add its contents in the spring boot application class. Then I looked at how the onStartup of SpringBootServletInitializer was done and changed my code to:
#SpringBootApplication
#EntityScan("com.example")
#EnableJpaRepositories("com.example")
#ComponentScan("com.example")
#EnableConfigurationProperties(CustomProperties.class)
public class Application extends SpringBootServletInitializer{
#Override
protected SpringApplicationBuilder configure(SpringApplicationBuilder application) {
return application.sources(Application.class);
}
#Override
public void onStartup(final ServletContext sc) throws ServletException{
AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext root = new AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext();
root.scan("com.example");
sc.addListener(new ContextLoaderListener(root){
#Override
public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent event) {
// no-op because the application context is already initialized
}
});
ServletRegistration.Dynamic appServlet = sc.addServlet("mvc", new DispatcherServlet(new GenericWebApplicationContext()));
appServlet.setLoadOnStartup(1);
appServlet.addMapping("/");
sc.addFilter("securityFilter", new DelegatingFilterProxy("springSecurityFilterChain"))
.addMappingForUrlPatterns(null, false, "/*");
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
}
}
This time the war file deploys normally but when I try to hit the home page I get the following error although I did add the springSecurityFilterChain:
org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No bean named 'springSecurityFilterChain' available
org.springframework.beans.factory.support.DefaultListableBeanFactory.getBeanDefinition(DefaultListableBeanFactory.java:771)

org.springframework.web.filter.DelegatingFilterProxy.initDelegate(DelegatingFilterProxy.java:337)
org.springframework.web.filter.DelegatingFilterProxy.doFilter(DelegatingFilterProxy.java:263)
This is what I had initially(two separate classes):
public class AppInitializer implements WebApplicationInitializer {
#Override
public void onStartup(final ServletContext sc) throws ServletException{
AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext root = new AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext();
root.scan("com.example");
sc.addListener(new ContextLoaderListener(root));
ServletRegistration.Dynamic appServlet = sc.addServlet("mvc", new DispatcherServlet(new GenericWebApplicationContext()));
appServlet.setLoadOnStartup(1);
appServlet.addMapping("/");
sc.addFilter("securityFilter", new DelegatingFilterProxy("springSecurityFilterChain"))
.addMappingForUrlPatterns(null, false, "/*");
}
}
#SpringBootApplication
#EntityScan("com.example")
#EnableJpaRepositories("com.example")
#ComponentScan("com.example")
#EnableConfigurationProperties(CustomProperties.class)
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);
}
}
Please help me figure out what I am doing wrong.
#Configuration
#EnableAutoConfiguration

public class InitService extends SpringBootServletInitializer {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run("classpath:abc-server.xml", args);
}

Here i am trying to migrate the Spring MVC project to Spring boot Standalone jar with embedded tomcat. So i tried loading the context xml(abc-server.xml) used in the existing project. When i run/deploy the spring boot jar, the following exception is thrown.

When you call run, you're only providing server-abc.xml as a source for your application's configuration:
SpringApplication.run("classpath:abc-server.xml", args);
That means that InitService is being ignored, including the fact that you've enabled auto-configuration. Without auto-configuration being switched on, Spring Boot will not automatically configure an embedded servlet container for you. You need to provide both InitService and abc-server.xml as configuration for your application.
I would provide InitService.class to SpringApplication.run and use #ImportResource to pull in your old XML configuration:
#SpringBootApplication
#ImportResource("classpath:abc-server.xml")
public class InitService {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(InitService.class, args);
}
}
Note that #SpringBootApplication is equivalent to #ComponentScan, #Configuration, and #EnableAutoConfiguration. You can just use #SpringBootApplication and drop the other three annotations as I've done above.
I have integrated resteasy with spring boot for our backend web application. My application.java file looks like below
#ComponentScan(basePackages = "<basepackage>")
#EnableAutoConfiguration
#EnableWebMvc
#ImportResource(value = { "classpath:springmvc-resteasy.xml" })
public class Application {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
}
}
In order to serve static content from my web application, it was suggested #https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24661289/spring-boot-not-serving-static-content to extend WebMvcAutoConfigurationAdapter. Once I did the same, I got the following exception

Any pointers will be greatly appreciated.
Your test load a web app specific configuration file, but your test environment does not provide the required files:
You need to separate the Web Application specific configuration from the one the works wihtout web application context.
Then use for the test the one that works without Web Application.
For you that mean: remove the Tiles Configuration for the test configuration. Because in the test the /WEB-INF/tiles/tiles.xml file is not available.
