unable to start spring boot web application

java gradle spring-boot reactive-programming gretty

I am trying to create a basic application that would use Spring Boot and reactive programming (and without web.xml)

This is my servlet

public class RootServlet extends ServletHttpHandlerAdapter {
    public RootServlet(HttpHandler httpHandler) {
        super(httpHandler);
    }

    public RootServlet() {
        this(WebHttpHandlerBuilder
                .webHandler(toHttpHandler(routingFunction()))
                .build()
        );
    }

    private static RouterFunction<?> routingFunction() {
        return route(GET("/ping"), new PingHandlerFunction());
    }

}

This is my handler function

public class PingHandlerFunction implements HandlerFunction<ServerResponse> {
    @Override
    public Mono<ServerResponse> handle(ServerRequest request) {
        return ok().body(fromObject("true"));
    }
}

And this is my application

@SpringBootApplication
@ComponentScan(basePackages = { "com.lapots.tree.model" })
public class TreeModelApplication extends SpringBootServletInitializer {

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

    @Bean
    public ServletRegistrationBean servletRegistrationBean() throws Exception {
        ServletRegistrationBean registrationBean = new ServletRegistrationBean(new RootServlet(), "/");
        registrationBean.setLoadOnStartup(1);
        registrationBean.setAsyncSupported(true);
        return registrationBean;
    }
}

I put properties into resources/application.properties

server.port=8080

logging.level.root=INFO

spring.application.name=tree-model-test

To start web application I use gretty plugin

apply plugin: 'war'
apply plugin: 'org.akhikhl.gretty'

gretty {
    springBoot = true
}

dependencies {
    compile "org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-parent:$springBootVersion"
    compile "org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web:$springBootVersion"
    compile "org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-webflux:$springBootVersion"

    providedCompile "javax.servlet:javax.servlet-api:$servetApiVersion"
}

Where springBootVersion=2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT and servletApiVersion=4.0.0-b03

But when I try to start application using gradle jettyRun I get this exception

What is the problem?

After the discussion with @KumareshBabu we found out that in earlier versions of spring boot the class SpringBootServletInitializer was located in org.springframework.boot.context.web while now it is located in org.springframework.boot.web.servlet.support package.

So I decided to use workaround gretty/issue-334
