I have a vanilla spring boot app that consists of the following pom.xml
It looks like this a bug in Glassfish: GLASSFISH-21265
You can try to get around that by adding metadata-complete="true"
in your web.xml
like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app version="3.1"
metadata-complete="true"
xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_1.xsd">
</web-app>
The metadata-complete="true" indicates that the JAR files in /WEB-INF/lib doesn't need to be scanned for Servlet 3.0 specific annotations, but the webapp's own classes will still be scanned.
