Integrate Spring Boot in an EAR project

Question

I have an existing war project created using spring boot. How to package it within an EAR which has an EJB module?

Is there any way to move the model and dao package

Answer 1

You have to use the dependency management system.

It allows you to set the parent of Spring Boot WAR module project to the different from the spring-boot-starter-parent. Then it's would be possible to include the WAR project into the EAR one in the same way like any other.

     
        
            
            org.springframework.boot
            spring-boot-dependencies
            1.5.2.RELEASE
            pom
            import
        
    

... now you can use all the Spring Boot starter dependencies in the usual way:

    
        org.springframework.boot
        spring-boot-starter-web
    
    
        org.springframework.boot
        spring-boot-starter-data-jpa
    

The starter dependencies you've to specify at the module projects level, while the dependency management configuration may be specified at the both ones - around the whole EAR projects or individually on each of them, depending on the app requirements.
