Spring Roo 2 : 404 when running the sample web app

I've downloaded Spring Roo 2.0.0 RC1 along with Spring Tools Suite 3.9 on OS X.

I created an empty project then run the following command to import the PetClinic sample :

script --file clinic.roo

The import as well as the Maven dependencies install worked as expected. But when I run the application on the server (stock Pivotal tc Server Developer Edition v3.2), I get a 404 error !

I put a debug breakpoint on the annotated @SpringBootApplication main class in which we have the main and nothing caught.

Question : how can I run the pet clinic sample ? Why the application doesn't boot ?

Regards.

According to the Spring documentation : In order to start it correctly on a Java EE server, you have to extend SpringBootServletInitializer.

Please, make sure that this class comes from the org.springframework.boot.web.support package and not from the org.springframework.boot.context.web package.

After the extends you have to override the configure method just like this :

@SpringBootApplication
public class PetClinicApplication extends SpringBootServletInitializer{

    private static Class<PetClinicApplication> applicationClass = PetClinicApplication.class;

    /**
     * TODO Auto-generated method documentation
     *
     * @param args
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(PetClinicApplication.class, args);
    }

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

Explanation (from the same link above):

This new base class - SpringBootServletInitializer - taps into a Servlet 3 style Java configuration API which lets you describe in code what you could only describe in web.xml before.
