It should be possible to use Vaadin Spring Boot and its servlet together with Spring MVC and Spring Actuator (server health monitoring etc.) that internally uses Spring MVC.

Vaadin UIs mapped to the context root as well as other paths should work and the Vaadin servlet should not swallow requests intended for Spring MVC even when there is a Vaadin UI mapped to the context root.

The currently planned approach:

Always map the Vaadin servlet somewhere else than the context root, but add a forwarding (using Spring ServletForwardingController) from the UI paths to the Vaadin servlet for the bootstrap page generation. The generated bootstrap page should then contain a serviceUrl that makes sure all non-bootstrap requests go directly to the Vaadin servlet.

Static resources (/VAADIN/*) will also be mapped directly to the Vaadin servlet.
