Hi All, I’m a beginner with gradle as well. I’m trying to help a developer who is upgrading a spring / tomcat app that was running with grails 2.5 as a WAR in a Tomcat install on a server. I guess they made a lot of changes including adding spring boot and it “always worked in my IDE”… so now it works in the IDE, and the build.gradle that he put together does create a WAR, but that WAR doesn’t actually start, it just deploys when dropped into a vanilla Tomcat install. I guess I don’t really know where to start and I’m curious if there was anyone who could provide some pointers? I’ve tried several things but no matter what I do, it doesn’t deploy and hitting the tomcat web port just gets a 404. Running with java -jar (which is what his IDE is doing) seems to work fine though. Please forgive me if this isn’t the right place, and I’d be very grateful to be pointed in the right direction. I’m also willing to share the build.gradle directly if someone is willing to take a look…
