Question

How can Spring Boot be integrated with other Java frameworks such as Play or Struts?

I am working on a Java web application using Spring Boot and I would like to know how I can integrate it with other Java frameworks such as Play or Struts. I have looked through the Spring Boot documentation and searched online, but I haven't been able to find any clear guidance on this topic.

Can anyone provide guidance or examples of how to integrate Spring Boot with Play or Struts? Specifically, I am interested in understanding how to handle routing, request handling, and dependency injection when combining these frameworks.

I have tried experimenting with different approaches, but I keep running into issues with conflicting dependencies or incompatible configuration options. I am hoping that someone with more experience in this area can provide some guidance or best practices.

There's no integration available to Spring Boot. However, if you work with Struts2, then it integrates to Spring via plugin. Merely you can find links to Struts documentation in [this](https://stackoverflow.com/a/40932062/573032) answer. — Roman C, Mar 30 '23 at 14:51

Did you try to add those dependencies to your pom.xml file?

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.struts</groupId>
  <artifactId>struts2-core</artifactId>
  <version>2.5.10</version>
</dependency>

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.struts</groupId>
  <artifactId>struts2-junit-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>2.5.10</version>
</dependency>

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.struts</groupId>
  <artifactId>struts2-convention-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>2.5.10</version>
</dependency>

Here you also have few articles and documentation about integrating Spring app with Struts:

https://www.baeldung.com/struts-2-intro

https://struts.apache.org/getting-started/spring

I've also found a sample project here:

https://github.com/linux-china/struts2-spring-boot-integration

The first two links aren't Spring Boot-related. Just adding the dependencies doesn't really do anything. — Dave Newton, Mar 30 '23 at 15:24
