Spring / Spring Boot
How do I change from tomcat to other embedded containers?
Tomcat is the default embedded container when we specify web since spring-boot-starter-web dependency declares spring-boot-starter-tomcat as its dependency.
To change from tomcat to Jetty, we need to remove tomcat dependency by specifying the exclusion in pom.xml if you are using maven.
<dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId> <exclusions> <exclusion> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-tomcat</artifactId> </exclusion> </exclusions> </dependency>
After removing the tomcat dependency, the next step is to specify the dependency for jetty.
<dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-jetty</artifactId> </dependency>
Now build your project using maven and run your application to see that jetty in use.
