spring boot - application start twice..?

I am new to spring boot and my application has Servlet with eh-cache modules.

@EnableCaching 
@SpringBootApplication 
@ServletComponentScan
public class Application extends SpringBootServletInitializer {

    private static final Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(Application.class);
    public Application() {
        log.info("------------------------------");
        log.info("  Welcome to Application");
        log.info("------------------------------");
    }

    @Override
    protected SpringApplicationBuilder configure(SpringApplicationBuilder application) {
        return application.sources(Application.class);
    }
}

using this, I was trying to start the application, but it starts twice..?

I had to remove the dependency for the spring-boot-devtools which then made the application startup succesfully.

I was observing the same as I had added a dependency for devtools

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

devtools auto-refresh the context. I hope it helps.

The output is coming twice but the application is actually started only once.

There are actually 2 instances going to be created and that is actually due to the @SpringBootApplication annotation. Or more precisely the @Configuration annotation.

When Spring detects a @Configuration it will create a special proxy for this class. As this is a class based proxy a new instance will get created to be able to proxy calls to all @Bean methods (so that you only get a single instance of the bean etc.). This proxy will wrap the actual instance.

However the main class will only run once and the proxied instance will be used to get the @Bean methods from.

Only the class Application was instatiated twice. The application started up just once.
