My main Application

package main;

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.EnableAutoConfiguration;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.builder.SpringApplicationBuilder;

import org.springframework.context.annotation.ImportResource;
import org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.core.env.ConfigurableEnvironment;
import org.springframework.web.WebApplicationInitializer;

@SpringBootApplication
@EnableAutoConfiguration
@ImportResource("CamelContext.xml") //used to link external Spring-DSL camel route
@Configuration
public class SampleAmqApplication extends SpringBootServletInitializer implements WebApplicationInitializer{

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


    public static void main(String[] args) {

        SpringApplication.run(SampleAmqApplication.class, args);


    }
}

I have also included weblogic.xml file in WEB-INF folder

Answer 1

Solution to the above problem is to use : -

@ImportResource("classpath:CamelContext.xml")

Instead of @ImportResource("CamelContext.xml")

Answer 2

The error message says that CamelContext.xml is not available in your.war file. Extract it to verify this. If the file is not present, you must configure the resource plugin in your pom to include xml-files.
