Spring boot : A ServletContext is required to configure default servlet handling

Question

I have converted a classic spring framework application to Spring Boot, and now I getting this:

This is the root of the cause, the messageSource bean:

@Configuration
public class MvcConfiguration extends WebMvcConfigurationSupport {

    @Bean(name = "messageSource")
    public MessageSource messageSource() {
        ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource messages = new ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource();
        messages.setBasenames("classpath:beanValidation", "classpath:errors");
        messages.setDefaultEncoding("UTF-8");
        return messages;
    }

    @Override
    protected Validator getValidator() {
        LocalValidatorFactoryBean validator = new LocalValidatorFactoryBean();
        validator.setValidationMessageSource(messageSource());
        return validator;
    }
}

When I rename the messageSource method to messageSource2 it works, but I'm not abble to use my LocalizedMessageService that autowire the default MessageSource to query for my custom messages.

How can I add custom message base names to the default MessageSource?

have you added any servlet mapping or @Servlet,@Configuration annotation? also have a look at br.com.jjw.besser.core.BesserCoreApplication.main(BesserCoreApplication.java:15) — Koustav Ray

You might also want to have a look at this spring.io/guides/gs/spring-boot.. because you haven't shared your code it's difficult to assess what you are missing. — Koustav Ray

In order to get some help please share at least your configuration files that bootstrap your application — dumitru

Add your MvcConfiguration class. I'm guessing that you're trying to use configureDefaultServletHandling method. — Ali Dehghani

Solved.

I have separated the messageSource bean from the MvcConfiguration, I put it inside another configuration class:

@Configuration
public class LocalizationConfiguration {

    @Bean
    public MessageSource messageSource() {
        ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource messages = new ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource();
        messages.setBasenames("classpath:beanValidation", "classpath:errors");
        messages.setDefaultEncoding("UTF-8");
        return messages;
    }

}

Aparently, my WebMvcConfigurationSupport extension cannot instantiate the messageSource.

Hi, thanks for sharing a solution. How do you use it in your getValidator() method now? You have a field of type LocalizationConfiguration in your MvcConfiguration class?

Beto Neto Over a year ago

I haven't defined an Validator, I'm using the Spring Boot auto configurator for instantiate the validador. You just need to have hibernate-validator in your class path and the spring takes care about using the messageSource bean as the source of your localization.
