Spring Boot部署WAR

Question

I have a working spring boot application that works fine when I create a JAR file and execute it.

But when I follow this tutorial to deploy the WAR on tomcat, I am unable to hit the controllers. I am not sure of the path. I tried localhost:8080/ appname/controllervalue It doesn't give any response, I don't see an error either.

I opened the webapps folder and checked the contents. I found a web.xml file and the path there is empty. So I tried localhost:8080/ controllervalue , and this also didn't work. Any thing that I am missing?

My pom file

You need to add WebApplicationInitializer if you are building a war file and deploying it SpringBootServletInitializer

In sping boot you can use SpringBootServletInitializer

@SpringBootApplication
public class Application extends SpringBootServletInitializer {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
    }

}
