Spring Boot: Unable to start EmbeddedWebApplicationContext due to missing EmbeddedServletContainerFactory bean

I’d like to do this guide: https://spring.io/guides/gs/scheduling-tasks/

The application starter class is this:

@ComponentScan
@EnableAutoConfiguration
public class Application {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(ScheduledTasks.class, args);
    }
}

As you can see, the main method contains a commented line. I’ve already done a tutorial, namely this one: https://spring.io/guides/gs/consuming-rest/ It’s up and running. But I can’t run the ScheduledTasks app, which is the following:

@EnableScheduling
public class ScheduledTasks {

    private static final SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss");

    @Scheduled(fixedRate = 5000)
    public void reportCurrentTime() {
        System.out.println("The time is now " + dateFormat.format(new Date()));
    }
}

I use Eclipse and run the Application.java’s main as an Application. Could someone please help me?

Answer

The scheduling guide isn’t a web app so you probably have some mouldy stuff in your pom.xml from the REST guide? If you follow the instructions closely it should work. Another potential issue with the code you posted above is that your @EnableAutoConfiguration class is not used in the context, only as a main method (which may not be a problem for the scheduling guide but it probably is for a bunch of others).
