How to run Spring boot on weblogic 10.3.6

Question

I am trying to run the similar Hello world spring boot WEB application on Weblogic 10.3.6

And like mentioned [here][1] And I have tried both the approaches

Implementing the Application class with implements WebApplicationInitializer and
Writing our own WebInitializer and then copying all the code from SpringBootServletInitializer

Both theses methods are not helping me out to the application, I can deploy it as webapplication on weblogic 10.3.6 but when accessing it gives me same error with error code 403

Can some one please guide me on this.

Try to exclude the embedded tomcat from starter-web pom :

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

And change the packaging to war instead of jar.

Then create a configuration class to put your beans and annotations like the classic way but this time extends SpringBootServletInitializer and override configure method, and register your configuration classes like this.

    @Override
    protected SpringApplicationBuilder configure(SpringApplicationBuilder application) {
        application.sources(AppConfig.class);
        return application;
    }

#sources(Object... obj)

Hope this helps

It's been a while since this question was asked but I have encountered the same problem and found a solution:

Main class must implement WebApplicationInitializer
Embedded Tomcat must be excluded
You have to configure web.xml, dispatcher-servlet.xml and weblogic.xml
