Spring Boot does not honor @WebServlet

Question

I created a Servlet (extending from HttpServlet) and annotated as per 3.0 specs with

@WebServlet(name=\"DelegateServiceExporter\", urlPatterns={\"/remoting/Deleg         


        

Answer 1

Add @ServletComponentScan in your bootstrap class.

such as

@SpringBootApplication
@ServletComponentScan 
public class Application {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
       SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
   }
}

This will enable spring boot to scan @WebServlet as well as @WebListener.
