title: How to combine multiple Spring Boot web applications?
body: <p>I came across this tutorial "<a href="http://plainoldobjects.com/2014/04/01/building-microservices-with-spring-boot-part1/" rel="nofollow">Building microservices with Spring Boot</a>", which explains how to connect a user registration service with a webapp (=an UI for the registration). And I wondered if I could connect two webapps?</p>
  
  <p>Say I have several components:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>a forum</li>
  <li>a chat</li>
  <li>a blog system</li>
  <li>...</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Each of them is a separately developed webapp with API endpoints, backend logic, enclosed Tomcat etc. I want to combine them within an app depending on what component is required. Maybe I even want to override certain aspects (e.g. configuration or a default template) within the enclosing project.</p>
  
  <p>Any buzzwords for how to do this?</p>
