[FIXED] Cannot import org.h2.server.web.WebServlet

Issue

I am trying to configure my spring boot application to use h2 console. I found some articles and all of them use webServlet. But I can not import the class although I have h2 dependency added in my pom.xml. I get this error message can not resolve the symbol WebServlet. My import line

import org.h2.server.web.WebServlet;

Below is my pom.xml

<dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>

and my application.properties

spring.datasource.url=jdbc:h2:mem:AZ;DB_CLOSE_DELAY=-1;DB_CLOSE_ON_EXIT=FALSE
spring.datasource.driverClassName=org.h2.Driver
spring.datasource.username=sa
spring.datasource.password=
spring.jpa.database-platform=org.hibernate.dialect.H2Dialect

and configuration

@Bean
public ServletRegistrationBean h2servletRegistration() {
    ServletRegistrationBean registration = new ServletRegistrationBean(new WebServlet());
    registration.addUrlMappings("/console/*");
    return registration;
}

Let me know what I am missing here.

Solution

Shouldn't h2 be a compile (instead of runtime) dependency?
