Spring Boot
What is Spring Boot?• Spring Boot makes it easy to create stand-
alone, production-grade Spring based Applications that you can "just run". We take an opinionated view of the Spring platform and third-party libraries so you can get started with minimum fuss. Most Spring Boot applications need very little Spring configuration.
Features• Create stand-alone Spring applications
• Embeded Tomcat, Jetty or Undertow directly (you don’t need to deploy WAR files or create one)
• Based from 'starter' POMs to simplify your Maven configuration
• Automatically configure Spring
• Absolutely no code generation and no requirement for XML configurations. Isn’t that great?!
Simple JAX-RS service
• Spring Boot along with @EnableAutoConfiguration/@SpringBootApplication does the rest. It detects the presence of Jetty in the classpath, comes to a valid conclusion that our intention is to run web application and complement the Spring context with the necessary pieces
