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

With Spring Boot, you should use the ServletRegistrationBean object instead of the @WebServlet annotation if you want to register a Servlet and provide the URL pattern.

Adding this bean to your @Configuration class should do the trick :

@Bean
public ServletRegistrationBean delegateServiceExporterServlet() {
    return new ServletRegistrationBean(new DelegateServiceExporter(), "/remoting/DelegateService");
}
