OpenLiberty 18.0.0.3 supports automatic disabling of the embedded Tomcat Container. However, this does not appear to work when the SpringBoot application contains an EmbeddedServletContainerFactory @Bean in the SpringBoot application class.
How can this EmbeddedServletContainerFactory @Bean be disabled using external configuration/xml file or other, so that Liberty can override the embedded container?
package com.mw.springboot.jaxws;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.context.embedded.EmbeddedServletContainerFactory;
import org.springframework.boot.context.embedded.tomcat.TomcatEmbeddedServletContainerFactory;
import org.springframework.boot.web.servlet.ServletRegistrationBean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
@SpringBootApplication
public class SpringCxfApplication {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(SpringCxfApplication.class, args);
}
// Register Servlet
@Bean
public ServletRegistrationBean servletRegistrationBean() {
ServletRegistrationBean bean = new ServletRegistrationBean(new MyServlet(), "/myServlet");
return bean;
}
// how can this be disabled through external configuration?
@Bean
public EmbeddedServletContainerFactory servletContainer() {
TomcatEmbeddedServletContainerFactory factory =
new TomcatEmbeddedServletContainerFactory();
return factory;
}
}
The following errors are reported:
