{8.0.0-new} 
Overview

<p>
	The Juneau integration component for Spring Boot consists of the following classes:
</p>
<ul class='javatree'>
	<li class='ja'>{@link oajr.springboot.annotation.JuneauRestRoot}
	<li class='jc'>{@link oajr.springboot.JuneauRestInitializer}
	<li class='jc'>{@link oajr.springboot.SpringRestResourceResolver}
</ul>
<p>
	A typical Spring Boot application can use the {@link oajr.springboot.JuneauRestInitializer} to find
	and register Juneau REST servlets via the {@link oajr.springboot.annotation.JuneauRestRoot} annotation.
</p>
<h5 class='figure'>Example:</h5>
<p class='bpcode w800'>
	<ja>@SpringBootApplication</ja>
	<ja>@Controller</ja>
	<jk>public class</jk> App {
	
		<jk>public static void</jk> main(String[] args) {
			<jk>new</jk> SpringApplicationBuilder(App.<jk>class</jk>)
				.initializers(<jk>new</jk> JuneauRestInitializer(App.<jk>class</jk>))
				.run(args);
		}
	
		<jd>/** Our root resource */</jd>
		<ja>@Bean @JuneauRestRoot</ja>
		<jk>public</jk> RootResource getRootResource() {
			<jk>return new</jk> RootResource();  <jc>// A subclass of RestServlet.</jc>
		}
	}
</p>
<p>
	The initializer will search for Spring beans annotated with the <ja>@JuneauRestRoot</ja> annotation identifying it
	as a top-level servlet to be deployed in the Spring Boot web container.
</p>
<p>
	Another option is to use the <ja>@JuneauRestRoot</ja> annotation on your Spring Boot source class like so:  
</p>
<p class='bpcode w800'>
	<ja>@SpringBootApplication</ja>
	<ja>@Controller</ja>
	<ja>@JuneauRestRoot</ja>(servlets=RootResource.<jk>class</jk>)
	<jk>public class</jk> App {
	
		<jk>public static void</jk> main(String[] args) {
			<jk>new</jk> SpringApplicationBuilder(App.<jk>class</jk>)
				.initializers(<jk>new</jk> JuneauRestInitializer(App.<jk>class</jk>))
				.run(args);
		}
	}
</p>
<p>
	The root servlets are given an instance of {@link oajr.springboot.SpringRestResourceResolver} which allows
	for child resources to be defined as injectable Spring beans.  
</p>
<p>
	 The {@doc juneau-examples-rest-springboot} section describes how the Examples REST application is deployed
	 using Spring Boot and quickly deployable as an online application using Heroku.
