We have a spring-boot (1.1.4) project on JBoss EAP 6.2 (my customer's requirement...)

I found a solution to run it on JBoss EAP 6.2.0 GA and keep capability to run on Apache Tomcat 7 container.

Initially my project run in embedded mode, so I need to create and change some files to run on containers.

To run on Tomcat as root application I created context.xml: /src/main/webapp/META-INF/context.xml

To run on JBOSS EAP 6.2.0 GA as root application I created jboss-web.xml: /src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/jboss-web.xml

    /

I created a class, because JBoss servlet mapping works as /* but not with / :

import javax.servlet.ServletContext;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.ServletRegistration.Dynamic;
import org.springframework.boot.builder.SpringApplicationBuilder;
import org.springframework.boot.context.web.SpringBootServletInitializer;
import org.springframework.web.context.WebApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.web.context.support.AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet;

/**
 * Working without web.xml with container (not em,bedded mode).
 * JBOSS EAP 6.2 specific: you need to map dispatcherServlet to /* .
 */
public class ContainerWebXml extends SpringBootServletInitializer {

    @Override
    protected SpringApplicationBuilder configure(SpringApplicationBuilder application) {
        return application.sources(TomcatStart.class);
    }

    /**
     * JBOSS EAP 6.2 mapping.
     *
     * @param container
     * @throws ServletException
     */
    @Override
    public void onStartup(ServletContext container) throws ServletException {
        WebApplicationContext context = getContext();

        Dynamic registration = container.addServlet("dispatcher", new DispatcherServlet(context));
        registration.setLoadOnStartup(1);
        registration.addMapping("/*"); // required JBOSS EAP 6.2.0 GA
        super.onStartup(container);
    }

    private WebApplicationContext getContext() {
        AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext context = new AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext();
        context.setConfigLocation(TomcatStart.class.getName());
        return context;
    }

}

Do not forget call super.onStartup(container);

Changes in pom.xml:

    
        org.springframework.boot
        spring-boot-starter-tomcat
        provided
    

If you use spring.profile, than you need to set as env. variable.

I run JBoss EAP 6.2.0 GA as standalone mode:

export JAVA_OPTS="-Dspring.profiles.active=local"
.../jboss-eap-6.2/bin/standalone.sh

If you run on Tomcat, then do not forget to set -Dspring.profiles.active=local

As I see the server.port setting will be ignored when you run on container.
