Installing a SpringBoot Legacy (web.xml) WAR application with filters (DelegatingFilterProxy), I was given the following error/stacktrace:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: org.springframework.boot.legacy.context.web.AnnotationConfigNonEmbeddedWebApplicationContext@fff88888 has not been refreshed yet

The supplied logs...

Sorry to do the question+answer thing. Hopefully this is helpful to someone else...

Looking at (only) the stacktrace provided, it looks like the issue occurred when the DelegatingFilterProxy asserted if the BeanFactory was active (this is a good start, sounded like the application context had an issue initialising...).

Upon getting access to the FULL logs, I found out the application context had failed much earlier on (issue with creating a bean - a missing file), and that this message was just the "ripples" from that original issue.

Moral of the story (tl;dr):

  • this stacktrace is a symptom, look for the root cause (& check the full logs)
