using SpringBootApplication

[wnleao]

Hi, I was taking a better look at the backend and I would like to know if you've considered using SpringBootApplication in the backend with its runner and @controller(s) to handle the requests. But you know, there might be something that I may be overlooking.

Log viewer can be embedded into another Java Web application as a library, so it must have as few dependencies as possible to avoid conflicts. And it should be as light as possible.
Spring rest controllers are nice, but LogViewer has 9 endpoints only. I think adding the dependency to spring boot doesn't worth it. Let's keep it as is.

I look forward to when you look at the integration tests (selenium), I feel my test implementation is ugly and may be improved)

Hey! Okay, I understand that you want to get things as clean and light as possible, but I think that you've reimplemented some things that are given in spring and I believe would not increase your dependencies by much. No problem, I'm going to take a look at the integration tests.
