ApplicationContextException: Unable to start ServletWebServerApplicationContext due to missing ServletWebServerFactory bean

Case 1:

@SpringBootApplication annotation missing in your spring boot starter class.

Case 2:

For non web application, disable web application type in properties file:

In application.properties:

spring.main.web-application-type=none

If you use application.yml then add:

  spring:
    main:
      web-application-type: none

For web applications, extends *SpringBootServletInitializer* in main class.

@SpringBootApplication
public class YourAppliationName extends SpringBootServletInitializer{
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(YourAppliationName.class, args);
    }
}

Case 3:

If you use spring-boot-starter-webflux then also add spring-boot-starter-web as dependency.


Probably you missing @SpringBootApplication in your spring boot starter class.

@SpringBootApplication
public class LoginSecurityAppApplication {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(LoginSecurityAppApplication.class, args);
    }

}

The solution is:

I explicitly set the below property to none in application.yml file.

spring:
  main:
    web-application-type: none
