How to use WebSphere Runtime libraries inside Spring Boot as stand along app

Question

I am trying to build a Spring Boot console app. to get started I am using the spring initializer v 1.3.1

it's simple 'hello world' with no Web, no JPA, no anything Now I edited the pom.xml and added a dependency to jar file called 'com.ibm.ws.ejb.thinclient_8.5.0.jar '

all of a sudden I get the following errors upon build

Caused by: org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Failed to instantiate [javax.management.MBeanServer]: Factory method 'mbeanServer' threw exception; nested exception is org.springframework.jmx.MBeanServerNotFoundException: Could not access WebSphere's AdminServiceFactory.getMBeanFactory/getMBeanServer method; nested exception is java.lang.NullPointerException

How can I include Websphere 8 run time libraries into Spring-Boot stand-alone app

Goal: I am trying to develop a simple stand alone java app, that will invoke EJB services via IIOP. This app runs out-side (as a stand alone client) and talks to EJB app inside websphere.

By default, jmx is enabled in spring-boot.

If you are not using JMX for your project. Add this line in the application.properties. That should solve this problem.

spring.jmx.enabled=false
