Unable to start spring boot application

Question

I am unable to start my application using @SpringBootApplication.

@SpringBootApplication
public class AppInitializer extends SpringBootServletInitializer {

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

    public static void main(String[] args) {
            ConfigurableApplicationContext ctx = new AppInitializer().configure(new SpringApplicationBuilder(AppInitializer.class)).run(args);
            System.out.println("count="+ctx.getBeanDefinitionCount());
        }
}

pom.xml uses:

        <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-tomcat</artifactId>
        <scope>compile</scope>
    </dependency> 

    <dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-jersey</artifactId>
<exclusions>
        <exclusion>
            <groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.containers</groupId>
            <artifactId>jersey-container-servlet-core</artifactId>
        </exclusion>
    </exclusions>
</dependency>

When i run the app, i get below error:

Is this your whole pom.xml? Please post all dependencies. It looks like there is a version conflict in the servlet api jar. — dunni
Added the dependency tree for your reference. There are jersey-container-servlet-core & jersey-container-servlet jars. — Prashant

Found the problem: The dependency jersey-container-servlet-core is only suitable for servlet containers with less than Servlet 3.0 specification. Since you use Tomcat 7, which implements Servlet 3.0, you have to use jersey-container-servlet. See the Jersey documentation here: https://jersey.java.net/documentation/latest/modules-and-dependencies.html#servlet-app-general

If you run the application as standalone app (i.e. not deploy it into Tomcat), you have to make sure, that the dependency spring-boot-starter-tomcat is in scope "compile". Currently the dependency has the scope "provided", which means, the dependency is not on the classpath when running the application.

If you want to run your application both in Tomcat and as standalone app, you have to use Maven profiles and build two WARs, one with spring-boot-starter-tomcat as provided, and one with spring-boot-starter-tomcat as compile.
