SpringBoot ignores @Configuration class

[harald michael]

Hi,

a SpringBoot application is ignoring a class annotated with @Configuration and I need shelp to understand how I can make SpringBoot
process this class and create beans inside it. Thank you!

Here is what I tried from what I found in the documentation and online and sample code:

- placed the class in the same package and in a subpackage called 'config'
- added the annotations which are below in the code (although SpringBoot should find it without any of these according to the doc)
- imported annotation context in an context.xml file imported with @ImportResource
- added following additoinal dependecies to pom:

<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-autoconfigure</artifactId>
</dependency>

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.springframework.boot/spring-boot-autoconfigure-processor -->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-autoconfigure-processor</artifactId>
</dependency>

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.springframework.boot/spring-boot-configuration-processor -->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-configuration-processor</artifactId>
</dependency>

	
package package 

//imports 	
		
		
@SpringBootApplication
@EnableAutoConfiguration
@ImportResource({ "classpath:context.xml" })
@ComponentScan(basePackages = { "package.config" })
@Import({ package.config.BeanConfig.class })
public class Application {


	public static void main(final String[] args) {

		SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);



	}

	
	
package package.config;
//imports



@Configuration
public class BeanConfig {

	@Bean
	...

}

context.xml :

....
	<context:annotation-config />
	<context:component-scan base-package="package.config" />
....
