How to deploy spring boot web application on tomcat server

Question

I have created spring boot web application, but I am unable to deploy spring boot web application WAR file on tomcat and I am able to run it as java application. How to run

Answer 1

Mark the spring-boot-starter-tomcat dependency as provided, like:

            org.springframework.boot
            spring-boot-starter-tomcat
            provided

Note1: Remove redundant dependencies from your pom.xml like:

        org.springframework
        spring-beans


        org.springframework
        spring-webmvc

They are part of spring boot starter packages

Note2: Make jar not war
