Static Resource Configuration

Configure static resource locations in application.yml:

spring:
  resources:
    static-locations: classpath:/static/

WAR Package Deployment

To package as WAR file, update pom.xml packaging type:

<packaging>war</packaging>

<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>2.3</version>
            <configuration>
                <failOnMissingWebXml>false</failOnMissingWebXml>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

Add Tomcat dependency with provided scope:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-tomcat</artifactId>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

Modify main application class to extend SpringBootServletInitializer:

@SpringBootApplication(scanBasePackages = { "com.example" })
public class ApplicationMain extends SpringBootServletInitializer {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(ApplicationMain.class, args);
    }

    @Override
    protected SpringApplicationBuilder configure(SpringApplicationBuilder application) {
        return application.sources(ApplicationMain.class);
    }
}

Execute Maven command: clean package to generate WAR file in target directory.

JAR Package Deployment

Configure Spring Boot Maven plugin in pom.xml:

<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

Run package command: mvn package and execute with: java -jar generated-jar-file.jar

Microservices Build Configuration

Parent module configuration:

<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
            <configuration>
                <source>${java.version}</source>
                <target>${java.version}</target>
                <encoding>${project.build.sourceEncoding}</encoding>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
    <resources>
        <resource>
            <directory>src/main/java</directory>
            <includes>
                <include>**/*.xml</include>
            </includes>
        </resource>
        <resource>
            <directory>src/main/resources</directory>
        </resource>
    </resources>
</build>

Child module configuration (only for modules with main class):

<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        </plugin>
