Spring Boot + Tomcat 8.5.12 + linux - angularjs

Question

I am working with Spring Boot version 1.5.2.Release
Angular 2 with systemjs config for front end
Maven build with following high-level configuration
Pom.xml
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>

</configuration>
</plugin>
<properties>

</properties>
Application.java
#SpringBootApplication
#EnableJpaRepositories
#EnableAutoConfiguration (exclude = {HibernateJpaAutoConfiguration.class})
#Import({ AppConfig.class, HibernateConfiguration.class, SwaggerConfig.class })
public class Application extends SpringBootServletInitializer{
#Override
protected SpringApplicationBuilder configure(SpringApplicationBuilder application) {
return application.sources(applicationClass);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("WebComponentApplication started... 7.10");
SpringApplication.run(applicationClass, args);
}
private static Class<Application> applicationClass = Application.class;
}
This configuration works fine with Tomcat deployment on Windows. But
when i deploy the same war on tomcat, i am just getting 404 - No
Resource found error
War Structure
ROOT.war
META-INF - Maven - MANIFEST
WEB-INF - classes - lib - lib-provided
org - springframework - boot - loader - (loader classes)
classes contains the spring boot application class and controllers.
classes folder also contains the dist folder of Angular application

I am deploying my war at the root context of Tomcat as ROOT.war
I am not sure what is going wrong here. Please help.

Answer 1

I resolved this issue.
Its actually a JDK conflict on the linux machine. I have JDK 1.8 installed, but set the environment variable only for the user. but i deployed the app as a ROOT user. I had to set it for the ROOT user again for it to work properly.
