hawtio - Spring-Boot Embedded Wars

Question

How can I include a third-party war in my Spring-Boot app? I'd like to stick to a single, executable artifact instead of going the traditional tomcat deployment route, but I'd also like to include something like hawtio (http://hawt.io/getstarted/index.html).

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

While not strictly an answer to the question, there is now a jar for hawt.io that works specifically with spring boot, which makes the requested requirement unnecessary (io.hawt:hawtio-springboot:jar:1.4.20).

The module code is here - https://github.com/hawtio/hawtio/tree/master/hawtio-springboot

With example usage shown here - https://github.com/hawtio/hawtio/tree/master/hawtio-sample-springboot
