Running application with java + maven + tomcat (embedded) the port is not found

Question

I've got no previous experience with java. Trying to run project from github - https://github.com/ESPD/ESPD-Service . The Service uses Maven for building multi-module Maven project. I'm using mvn clean package in order to generate the project.war file. Then type java -Dspring.profiles.active=prod -Xms768m -Xmx768m -jar project.war and the app is running in a Tomcat container with port 8080 and it shows on the cmd console that the app is running perfectly but the problem comes when i try to access the localhost:8080. It says Not Found and I've been looking all over the internet to find a solution but without success. Will appreciate a lot if someone gives me a hand on that one.

Answer 1

Java version should be JDK 1.8, Maven version must be no greater than 3.5.0

Then add 2 libraries to ESPD-Service\\espd-web\\target\\espd-web\\WEB-INF\\lib folder: mail-1.4.7.jar and activation-1.1.1.jar cuz they are currently missing.

After that run mvn install in order to install all the jars files and then run the java -Dspring.profiles.active=prod -Xms768m -Xmx768m -jar espd-web.war as it's written on the docs. And also when the app is running on localhost:8080 make sure you add localhost:8080/espd
