How to configure spring-boot servlet like in web.xml?

Question

I have a simple servlet configuration in web.xml:

<servlet>
    <servlet-name>appServlet</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>org.atmosphere.cpr.MeteorServlet</servlet-class>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>org.atmosphere.servlet</param-name>
        <param-value>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>contextClass</param-name>
        <param-value>
            org.springframework.web.context.support.AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext
        </param-value>
    </init-param>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
        <param-value>net.org.selector.animals.config.ComponentConfiguration</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
    <async-supported>true</async-supported>
</servlet>

<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>appServlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

How can I rewrite it for SpringBootServletInitializer?

Answer 1

If I take your question at face value (you want a SpringBootServletInitializer that duplicates your existing app) I guess it would look something like this:

@Configuration
public class Restbucks extends SpringBootServletInitializer {

    protected SpringApplicationBuilder configure(SpringApplicationBuilder builder) {
        return builder.sources(Restbucks.class, ComponentConfiguration.class);
    }

    @Bean
    public MeteorServlet dispatcherServlet() {
        return new MeteorServlet();
    }

    @Bean
    public ServletRegistrationBean dispatcherServletRegistration() {
        ServletRegistrationBean registration = new ServletRegistrationBean(dispatcherServlet());
        Map<String,String> params = new HashMap<String,String>();
        params.put("org.atmosphere.servlet","org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet");
        params.put("contextClass","org.springframework.web.context.support.AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext");
        params.put("contextConfigLocation","net.org.selector.animals.config.ComponentConfiguration");
        registration.setInitParameters(params);
        return registration;
    }

}

See docs on converting an existing app for more detail.

But, rather than using Atmosphere, you are probably better off these days using the native Websocket support in Tomcat and Spring (see the websocket sample and guide for examples).
