Spring Boot support in CICS

The CICS Liberty JVM server supports Spring Boot applications by using the Spring application programming model. Spring Boot provides a simpler and faster way of configuring, building, and running Spring applications. Spring was originally designed to simplify Java Enterprise Edition (EE), by using plain old Java objects (POJOs) and dependency injection. It now extends and encompasses many aspects of Java EE development. Spring Boot builds on Spring by adding components to avoid complex configuration, reduce development time, and offer a simpler startup experience. Most Spring Boot applications require little Spring configuration. For more information about Spring and Spring Boot, see Spring Boot overview.

You can build your Spring Boot applications as web application archives (WARs),which allows them be deployed and managed by using CICS bundles in the same way as can other CICS Liberty applications.
