In this tutorial, I am going to show you how to change the Tomcat to Jetty Server in Spring Boot application.

Tomcat to Jetty Server :

Tomcat is the embedded default server coming with Spring Boot. To change the Tomcat to Jetty server, we should change the dependencies in pom.xml like below.

pom.xml

<parent>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
<version>1.5.1.RELEASE</version>
</parent>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-jetty</artifactId>
</dependency>
</dependencies>

Refresh the dependencies and check the mvn dependency:tree.
