How to deploy Spring boot application to JBOSS application server

Create a spring boot application

Open pom.xml and add the below dependency. As you see we added spring-boot-starter-tomcat and set the scope to provided. This is to compile web related components. Make sure the packaging is WAR.

<dependencies>

<dependency>

<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>

<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-tomcat</artifactId>

<scope>provided</scope>

</dependency>

</dependencies>

<!-- Make sure that you changed the packaging to war -->

<packaging>war</packaging>

Extend SpringBootServletInitializer class in your Spring boot main class and override the configure method.

@SpringBootApplication

@EnableSwagger2

public class SpringBootDemoApplication extends SpringBootServletInitializer {

  @Override

  protected SpringApplicationBuilder configure(SpringApplicationBuilder builder){

    return builder.sources(SpringBootDemoApplication.class);

  }

  public static void main(String[] args){

    SpringApplication.run(SpringBootDemoApplication.class, args);

  }

}

With this configuration the application is ready to be deployed to any external application server.

Run mvn clean package which generates the WAR and deploy it to JBOSS application server.
