“Unable to start embedded container” after switch

Question

I have a demo spring boot application following the guide https://spring.io/guides/gs/rest-service/

But I hope to use jetty container rather than tomcat , so I use the following pom.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

@SpringBootApplication
@ComponentScan("cn.webank.wemqhttp")
public class ServerStartup {


    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(ServerStartup.class, args);
    }
}

This throws an exception after I add fragments that switch to jetty and run ServerStartup(This runs fine before I try to switch to jetty)

PS: Since the startup class is not at the same package of my beans, so I have explicitly add @ComponentScan to my startup class.

Answer 1

Add the following to your pom.xml:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.eclipse.jetty.aggregate</groupId>
    <artifactId>jetty-all-server</artifactId>
    <version>8.2.0.v20160908</version>
</dependency>

You may also comment the dependency with the artifactId of spring-boot-starter-jetty.
