How to register a secondary servlet with Spring Boot?

In Spring Boot, you can register secondary servlets by creating and configuring ServletRegistrationBean instances. This allows you to define additional servlets beyond the default Spring Boot servlet (usually the dispatcher servlet). Here's how you can register a secondary servlet:

  • Create a secondary servlet class by extending HttpServlet and implementing its doGet and doPost methods.

  • Configure a ServletRegistrationBean for the secondary servlet in your Spring Boot application's configuration class.

Here's a step-by-step example:

  • Create a secondary servlet class (e.g., SecondaryServlet.java):
import javax.servlet.annotation.WebServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import java.io.IOException;

@WebServlet("/secondary")
public class SecondaryServlet extends HttpServlet {
    protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException {
        response.getWriter().println("Hello from SecondaryServlet!");
    }
}
  • Configure the secondary servlet in your Spring Boot application's configuration class (e.g., ServletRegistrationConfig.java):
import org.springframework.boot.web.servlet.ServletRegistrationBean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;

@Configuration
public class ServletRegistrationConfig {

    @Bean
    public ServletRegistrationBean<SecondaryServlet> secondaryServletRegistration() {
        ServletRegistrationBean<SecondaryServlet> registrationBean =
                new ServletRegistrationBean<>(new SecondaryServlet(), "/secondary");

        // Optionally, set servlet initialization parameters, load-on-startup, etc.
        // registrationBean.addInitParameter("paramName", "paramValue");
        // registrationBean.setLoadOnStartup(1);

        return registrationBean;
    }
}

In this example:

  • We create a SecondaryServlet class, which is a simple servlet that responds to GET requests at the "/secondary" URL.

  • We configure the ServletRegistrationBean for the SecondaryServlet in the ServletRegistrationConfig class. The bean is defined with the @Bean annotation, and we specify the servlet instance and URL mapping.

  • You can also set servlet initialization parameters, load-on-startup, and other servlet-specific configurations using methods provided by the ServletRegistrationBean.

With this setup, when you run your Spring Boot application, the secondary servlet will be registered and accessible at the "/secondary" URL path. You can define and configure additional servlets similarly by creating more ServletRegistrationBean instances in your configuration class.
