Wildfly 10 - Cannot Upload Spring WAR

Question

When I try to upload my spring app to wildfly I get the error below, if I run the app in STS it runs fine with no errors.

Cannot upload deployment: {"WFLYCTL0080: Failed services" => {"jboss.undertow.deployment.default-server.default-host.\"/dealer_app-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT\"" => "org.jboss.msc.service.StartException in service jboss.undertow.deployment.default-server.default-host.\"/dealer_app-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT\": java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.springframework.boot.builder.SpringApplicationBuilder.([Ljava/lang/Class;)V Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.springframework.boot.builder.SpringApplicationBuilder.([Ljava/lang/Class;)V"},"WFLYCTL0412: Required services that are not installed:" => ["jboss.undertow.deployment.default-server.default-host.\"/dealer_app-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT\""],"WFLYCTL0180: Services with missing/unavailable dependencies" => undefined}

Here is my pom.xml:

Answer 1

I think this may be due to you not having the jboss dependency included in your pom.

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.wildfly/wildfly-undertow -->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.wildfly</groupId>
<artifactId>wildfly-undertow</artifactId>
<version>8.1.0.Final</version>
</dependency>

This might do the trick, if not it may be because you're using a method not specified in the Jboss library. Hope this helped!

Answer 2

excluding tomcat from spring-boot-starter-web is not enough.

You have to change your start class like this:

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.web.support.SpringBootServletInitializer;

@SpringBootApplication
public class DemoApplication extends SpringBootServletInitializer{

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

If it still does not work yet, you have to repackage your app:

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <configuration>
        <mainClass>com.example.DemoApplication</mainClass>
    </configuration>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <goals>
                <goal>repackage</goal>
            </goals>
        </execution>
    </executions>
</plugin>
