Enhancement | Provide spring boot starter deps

[HugoVeillette]

Hi @yurkom ,

I was looking at https://github.com/openl-tablets/openl-tablets/issues/242, and there are few shortcomings with the provided example using 5.26.

• While the test suite works (albeit with errors in logs), when packaged via the spring-boot maven plugin the rules are loaded in the repository yet not deployed, even when using a repo-file to store them externally does not yield expected result. Something smells class loader mix up.
• Logging deps with log4j2 are conflicting with spring-boot-starter-logging commonly used for other Spring-boots deps
• The custom CXF servlet seems to initialize it's own spring-boot context, making it difficult to use beans injection with the default spring-boot context (e.g. spring-boot-actuator, config classes, etc.). You can work around this, but it's non trivial.

My suggestion would be to create a separate project to implements an openl-ws-spring-boot-starter, that would follow spring-boot standard, remove the boiler plate and provide proper wiring with spring-boot context.

Do you think this would be a valuable addition to OpenL project?

Has there been any traction with this? I'd be interested in evaluating an openl spring boot starter. ATM the kie-server-spring-boot-starter is my primary choice due to the web UI provided out of the box, but I'm curious how openl's WebStudio compares.
