spring boot with sitemesh

Question

I'm using spring boot, and I would like to use sitemesh3 to my project. I need to add the sitemesh filter, I create this class :

@Configuration
public class Initializer implements ServletContextInitializer{


    @Override
    public void onStartup(ServletContext servletContext) throws ServletException {

        //Sitemesh
        FilterRegistration.Dynamic sitemesh = servletContext.addFilter("sitemesh", new ConfigurableSiteMeshFilter());
        EnumSet<DispatcherType> sitemeshDispatcherTypes = EnumSet.of(DispatcherType.REQUEST, DispatcherType.FORWARD);
        sitemesh.addMappingForUrlPatterns(sitemeshDispatcherTypes, true, "*.jsp");



    }
} 

I created the file sitemesh3.xml in WEB-INF directory but nothing happened, have I missed some configuration?

ServletContextInitializers aren't picked up with Spring Boot. Add the filter to your application configuration and wrap it in a FilterRegistrationBean.

See the Spring Boot reference guide.
