Spring MVC Apache Server integration

I have developed a Spring MVC app that can detect Ajax requests sent into my local environment 'localhost:8000/examplePath' with a json body being received as a mapped parameter. So, until here, all is fine. My question is: Do i still need to deploy my application on a container 'Apache Tomcat/ HTTP Server for example' for my application to be accessible externally on a possible production environment, and if so why?

I want to better understand the necessity of such, if my backend 'Spring MVC app' can already receive and respond to ajax requests

This is because you can't access from internet to your local environment, you need a public adress to access your application from everywhere only if you want to access it over internet otherwise can do it with a local network connection to access it.

If you want any container, you can do it easy with Pivotal. This a container platform for Spring apps.

Spring MVC creates a Web application that must be deployed to a Web Application Server to run. The server handles the low level stuff such as raw sockets and the HTTP protocol.
