I have a spring boot application in which I would like to use vaadin as frontend. The same spring boot application should offer a jersey REST endpoint. I’ve tried to create several servlet contexts (as described in this article https://www.baeldung.com/spring-boot-context-hierarchy). But I’m not able to start vaadin limited in one of the child contexts. My endgoal would be to have following routes:
myApplication.com/rest → jackson (child context 1)
myApplication.com/ui → vaadin (child context 2)
How can I achieve this setup with one spring boot application only?
I’m using the gradle com.vaadin:vaadin-spring-boot-starter dependency with version 14.0.9 in the compatibility mode (vaadin.compatibilityMode=true).
when starting the application, I get this error:
`***************************
