If we decide that we want to use Jetty as our servlet container, we will need to add a Jetty starter to our build file.
- As Tomcat already comes as a transitive dependency of Spring Boot, we will need to exclude it from our
builddependency tree by adding the following tobuild.gradle:
configurations {
compile.exclude module: "spring-boot-starter-tomcat"
}- We will also need to add a
compiledependency to ourbuilddependencies on Jetty:
compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-jetty")- To fix the compiler errors, we will need to remove the bean declaration of Tomcat's
RemoteIpFilterfrom ourWebConfigurationclass, as the Tomcat dependency has been removed. - Start the application by running
./gradlew clean bootRun - If we now look at the console logs, we will see that our application is running in Jetty:
