Spring Boot: Unable to start EmbeddedWebApplicationContext due to missing EmbeddedServletContainerFactory bean

Question

I am totally new to Spring and started to do the official guides from this site: https://spring.io/guides

I\'d like to do this guide: https://spring.io/guides/gs/sch

Answer 1

I had multiple application classes in one Spring Boot project which had the web started included and wanted to avoid it configuring a web environment for one of them so I manually configured it as below:

@SpringBootApplication
public class Application
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        new SpringApplicationBuilder(Application.class)
            .web(false)
            .run(args);
    }
}

UPDATE for Spring Boot 2 and above:

@SpringBootApplication
public class Application
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        new SpringApplicationBuilder(Application.class)
            .web(WebApplicationType.NONE)
            .run(args);
    }
}
