Spring-boot: Configure FreeMarkerConfigurationFactoryBean in web application

I'm trying to use Freemarker for e-mail templating in a web application.

I have declared a FreeMarkerConfigurationFactoryBean as follow:

@Bean
public FreeMarkerConfigurationFactoryBean freeMarkerConfigurationFactoryBean(EmailTemplateService templateService) {
    FreeMarkerConfigurationFactoryBean configurationFactoryBean = new FreeMarkerConfigurationFactoryBean();
    configurationFactoryBean.setPreTemplateLoaders(templateService);
    return configurationFactoryBean;
}

When running my JUnit everything is working well, but when running in my webapp my bean is "overriden" by the spring boot FreeMarkerAutoConfiguration.

I have tried to:

1. remove the spring-boot-starter-freemarker from my gradle file


2. @EnableAutoConfiguration(exclude = {FreeMarkerAutoConfigurationk.class})


3. spring.freemarker.enabled=false

But without success. Any idea?

Thanks guys.
