You mentioned JBoss 6 in you tags. Based on my experience Spring Boot Autoconfigure and JBoss 6 (specifically) is a no-go. If Hot Deploy is turned on or perhaps some other condition JBoss VFS performs some aggressive scanning of all jars in the war file. Once it starts to scan the classes in the autoconfigure module, it will abort due to an error akin to ClassNotFoundException. If you are using Autoconfigure, one solution might be to place the spring modules in the Container's lib. But this would make deployment unwieldy. I did not see this behavior on JBoss 7 nor Wildfly 8.
