Deploying Spring boot war to Tomcat 8

Question

I want to deploy my Spring boot application (.war) to an external Tomcat-Server. My application works fine in Eclipse with my local Tomcat 8 and jdk 8. Furthermore, we are using maven and

Now we had to setup a whole server from scratch and we tried to do our best, but the application won't find any Services. We just can call static html, css and js files. As far as we want to call a service we get an 404 error.

Can anyone show me a step-by-step setting up tomcat with deploying the war?

Here is my startclass:

@PropertySources({
        @PropertySource("classpath:/application.properties"),
        @PropertySource("classpath:/messages_de.properties")
})
@SpringBootApplication
public class Application {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        SpringApplication springApplication = new SpringApplication(Application.class);
        springApplication.run(args);
    }
}

Here is the pom.xml...

Answer 1

You need to update your manager url with text its new change

<plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.tomcat.maven</groupId>
                <artifactId>tomcat8-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>{version}</version>
                <configuration>
                    <url>http://yourRemoteServer:8888/manager/text</url>
                    <server>TomcatServer</server>
                    <path>/{project.artifactId}</path>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>

Now you can run mvn tomcat7:deploy( or redeploy)

PS : i know that the command tomcat7:deploy (redeploy) exists but i'm not sure for tomcat8:deploy !
