Hi @Saravanan_sathyamoo1 - I'm moving this to the Elasticsearch forum as you'll be able to get better answers there

I had a quick search and there do seem to be people uses the transport client and spring boot, but nobody posted a pom that I saw. I did help someone get `JEST` working recently and they were using spring, link in case that's the way you want to go: [https://github.com/khoanguyen123/es](https://github.com/khoanguyen123/es)
