I havent added web or data-rest dependencies to my spring-boot project so I expected Netty to be my default webserver but it still says tomcat started on port 8084
in my api gateway microservice.
This is my entire pom.xml file for my ApiGateway microservice

This is my application.yml file
server:
port : 8084
spring:
application:
name : API-GATEWAY
eureka:
instance:
prefer-ip-address : true
client:
fetchRegistry : true
registerWithEureka : true
serviceUrl :
defaultZone : http://localhost:8761/eureka
I added the exclude dependency tag given below to spring-boot-starter-web-flux but it still shows tomcat started on 8084. This is how I tried to exclude the tomcat dependency.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-webflux</artifactId>
<exclusions>
<!-- Exclude the Tomcat dependency -->
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-tomcat</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
To enable netty you have to use Reactive Gateway
in your pom.xml file instead of the mvc gateway
