configuration - how to disable http server in spring boot? -

spring boot documentation claims setting server.port=-1 disables http endpoint, me behaves same if used port=0. want achieve batch spring boot application starts, things , shuts down. right sits there until kill it.

how prevent starting http server? or instead - how shutdown spring boot application gracefully code?

i'm using version 1.2.4.release. have following annotations on main class:

@configuration @componentscan @enableautoconfiguration @enablecaching 

edit - dependencies:

compile(     'redis.clients:sharded-jedis-sentinel-pool:0.2.10.08e7bbe',     'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-jdbc',     'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web',     'mysql:mysql-connector-java:5.1.33',     'org.flywaydb:flyway-core:3.2.1', ) 

without spring-boot-starter-web spring throws:
