Spring boot applicaton will not stay up

Question

I created a simple REST Spring boot application. I see it start, but it immediately shutsdown. There is no error in log.

Below is the code and the log.

Code:

@Controller
@ComponentScan
@EnableAutoConfiguration 
@RequestMapping("userInfo")
public class UserUpdateService
{
    private java.util.logging.Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("UserUpdateService");

    @RequestMapping(value="/{userId}", method=RequestMethod.GET, produces = "application/xml; charset=utf-8")
    @ResponseBody
    String getUserInfo(@PathVariable String userId)
    {
        String func = "getUserInfo";
        logger.entering("UserUpdateService", func);

        String retval = "";
        return retval;
    }

    @RequestMapping(value="/{userId}", method=RequestMethod.DELETE, produces = "application/xml; charset=utf-8")
    @ResponseBody
    String removeUser(@PathVariable String userId)
    {
        String retval = "";
        String func = "removeUser";

        logger.entering("UserUpdateService", func);
        return retval;
    }

    @RequestMapping(value="/", method=RequestMethod.PUT, produces = "application/xml; charset=utf-8")
    @ResponseBody
    String addUser(@WebParam (name = "userId")String userId)
    {
        String retval = "";
        String func = "addUser";

        logger.entering("UserUpdateService", func);
        return retval;
    }

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        ApplicationContext ctx = SpringApplication.run(UserUpdateService.class, args);

    }

} 

Log:

    Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM warning: .hotspot_compiler file is present but has been ignored.  Run with -XX:CompileCommandFile=.hotspot_compiler to load the file.

Answer 1

if you are using maven, check out your pom.xml file, then you will find something like this:

<dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter</artifactId>
    </dependency>

it should be changed to this instead:

<dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
    </dependency>
