I am trying to deploy a Spring Boot (2.0.5) web application (war) with web sockets to a Tomcat 8.5.37 server, it previously worked with Tomcat 7. My web socket configuration is throwing the exception and preventing the application from starting. Am I missing some type of configuration in Spring or Tomcat? Something that is no longer available since I upgraded Tomcat?
I am able to run locally (through eclipse and eclipse's Tomcat v8.5), but when I try to deploy to our Tomcat server on our qa enviroment I get the following:
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'createWebSocketContainer' defined in class path resource [com/soft/core/app/configuration/WebSocketConfiguration.class]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException: Attribute 'javax.websocket.server.ServerContainer' not found in ServletContext

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Attribute 'javax.websocket.server.ServerContainer' not found in ServletContext
I was able to isolate to cause to this bean, if I remove this bean the app starts up:
@Configuration
@EnableWebSocketMessageBroker
public class WebSocketConfiguration implements WebSocketMessageBrokerConfigurer{
...
...
@Bean
public ServletServerContainerFactoryBean createWebSocketContainer() {
ServletServerContainerFactoryBean container = new ServletServerContainerFactoryBean();
container.setMaxTextMessageBufferSize(1024 * 1024); // 1 MB
return container;
}
}
