Spring4 Boot WebService Controller not working with Gradle Tomcat Plugin

I am trying to make a simple Spring4 WebService here is a Gist with the basic code

https://gist.github.com/jrgleason/1e23b694e0facc123caa

It seems to start ok but when I access http://localhost:8080/itext I get a 404 exception. Can someone please help me with what is wrong? Is it because I am using the boot plugin?

The problem is that Spring-Boot does not seem to play nice with the tomcat-plugin (A response that can get it working will steal the star!). As noted above you can reduce to just using the spring-boot...

buildscript {
  repositories {
    mavenLocal()
    mavenCentral()
  }
  dependencies {
    classpath("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:1.1.1.RELEASE")
  }
}
apply plugin: 'war'
apply plugin: 'spring-boot'
war { baseName='itext' }
repositories {
  mavenLocal()
  mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
  compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web")
  providedRuntime("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-tomcat")
  testCompile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test")
}

If you do this, however, you will also need to change the Application.java to something like this....

package com.gleason.itext;
import java.util.Arrays;

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.EnableAutoConfiguration;
import org.springframework.boot.builder.SpringApplicationBuilder;
import org.springframework.boot.context.web.SpringBootServletInitializer;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.ComponentScan;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.PathVariable;

@Configuration
@ComponentScan
@EnableAutoConfiguration
public class Application extends SpringBootServletInitializer {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(applicationClass, args);
    }

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

    private static Class<Application> applicationClass = Application.class;
}

Your application is working, check this url: http://localhost:8080/

Change you bean for http://localhost:8080/itext

@RestController
public class GreetingController {
    @RequestMapping("/itext")
    public String test(){
        System.out.println("Test");
        return "Test";
    }
}

In Spring Boot Tomcat is embedded by default, there is no need to configure tomcat.
