Spring Boot REST API deployment on JBOSS EAP 6.2.4

Question

I am creating a new angular UI and a couple of web services which will be called from angular UI. I created all web services using spring boot and Spring tool suite. I did coding for angular on brackets. Everything was working good.

Now its time to move this code to production. Our production environment is Jboss EAP 6.4. I took the angular code and was successfully able to make it run on Jboss servers. But i am having issues with the RESTful web services. I converted the services to create a WAR file using the instructions in - http://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/htmlsingle/#build-tool-plugins-maven-packaging

@RestController
@RequestMapping("/fusiontables/")
public class HeatMapUploadController {

    @Autowired
    private HeatMapService mapQueryJsonService;

    @RequestMapping(value="/upload", method=RequestMethod.POST)
    @ResponseBody
    public String getBoundaries(HeatMapUploadCommand uploadCommand) {
        System.out.println("Data is " + uploadCommand);
        return mapQueryJsonService.getMapQueryJson(uploadCommand);
    }
}

In the application.properties i added the following server.servlet-path=/*

These are my maven dependancies

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-tomcat</artifactId>
        <scope>provided</scope>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-actuator</artifactId>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-test</artifactId>
        <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.apache.poi</groupId>
        <artifactId>poi-ooxml</artifactId>
        <version>3.13</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.json</groupId>
        <artifactId>json</artifactId>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
        <artifactId>javax.servlet-api</artifactId>
        <scope>provided</scope>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

But when i call the Web Service, i am getting a 404. When i do maven package i dont get any errors and from STS if i say run on Server and select Jboss EAP 6.2.4 i dont get any errors. I see the same question is asked by quite a few others as well.

These are the only warnings i got

Answer 1

I added the following onStartup and it fixed the issue

@Override
public void onStartup(ServletContext container) throws ServletException {
    WebApplicationContext context = getContext();
    ServletRegistration.Dynamic registration = container.addServlet("dispatcher", new DispatcherServlet(context));
    registration.setLoadOnStartup(1);
    registration.addMapping("/*");
    super.onStartup(container);
}

private WebApplicationContext getContext() {
    AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext context = new AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext();
    context.setConfigLocation(Application.class.getName());
    return context;
}
