Answer 1

To deploy spring boot application in tomcat(Here you need to notice that spring boot evolves use of embedded tomcat) so you do not require to put manually jar in any tomcat folder .The best approach is run the below maven commands.

mvn clean package

As it successfully execute the maven command it will create a target folder in your webapp you will get a jar file in your target folder.

Now only you want to run your jar using command prompt

java -jar namefJar.jar

Now you will see your spring boot app will be working fine.
