如何使用在典型的Spring应用程序中基于Spring引导构建的依赖项？

Question

We have built a jar say ABC around Activiti with spring boot dependencies and packed as a dependency. The dependencies that are added are as follows on the jar we built.

1. Spring-boot-starter-tomcat
2. Activiti-spring-boot-starter-basic
3. Activiti-spring-boot-starter-rest-api
4. Activiti-spring-boot-starter-actuator
5. In dependency management we added the artifact spring-boot-depenencies.

When I inject this jar ABC as a dependency in to a typical spring application I run into multiple issues. Is there a way that I can use this jar in typical spring application (with XML based configuration)?

Answer 1

You can inject Spring boot dependenc in two ways:

• By specifying it as a parent (explained here )
• By specifying it as another dependency using <dependencyManagement> tag (explained here )

Once done, you can use Spring boot's classed into your application.

Are these issues ClassNotFound and MethodNotFound exceptions? If yes then you might have conflicts in different dependency versions.
