I am trying to deploy Spring Boot app to JBoss by following this. It worked well but SpringBootServletInitializer is deprecated in 1.4.0.RELEASE. Which one should I use?

Maven depedency

<parent>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
    <version>1.4.0.RELEASE</version>
</parent>

Java Code

 import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
 import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.EnableAutoConfiguration;
 import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
 import org.springframework.boot.context.web.SpringBootServletInitializer;

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

You are using org.springframework.boot.context.web.SpringBootServletInitializer this is deprecated. Instead:

Use

org.springframework.boot.web.support.SpringBootServletInitializer

For SpringBoot 2.0

org.springframework.boot.web.servlet.support.SpringBootServletInitializer

You can try this - worked for me 

import org.springframework.boot.web.servlet.ServletContextInitializer;
