How to start jhipster microservice application without tomcat

Question

I have created a jhipster (v3.4.0) microservice app and wanted to deploy it on production but not on a tomcat instance. I've configure it not to require jhipster-registry nor jhipster-console for log forwarding. So what I want to achieve is to run it as a java app/jar.

Here are my logs from running it with dev profile:

I removed all references of tomcat embedded from pom.xml, because of not need as of my project.
I removed all references of Servlets/ HTTPServlet.
I'm running it now with SpringApplication instead of ApplicationContext

This the default way to run JHipster apps, it works out of the box unless you modified the generated pom.xml and dependencies. — Gaël Marziou, Sep 17 '16 at 19:12
@GaëlMarziou I'm trying to find out what we've might added on pom during development. But from what I checked today even the `./mvnw package -Pdev -DskipTests` and `java -jar target/myapp-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.war` is not working. — Edmond, Sep 19 '16 at 19:59

after a closer look at your logs, I think IMHO that your app is trying to get the configuration for your app, i.e. is looking up for http://localhost:8888/myapp/default.

Under the port 8888 is running mostly the spring clod config service (here is the documentation). Since you don't want to run the registry service check how your microservice is configured, e.g. have a look at the boostrap-[profile].yml in the config folder of your app.

I did try though to disable spring could config but for some unknown reasons the app was not getting this config. The config that I added was `spring:\n\tcloud:\n\t\tconfig:\n\t\t\tenabled: false` – Edmond Sep 19 '16 at 19:55
I gues the problem is where you put your config. As specified here http://stackoverflow.com/a/27573169/1572439 you need to put your config in the bootstrap config because the config is need it at boot time ;) – duderoot Sep 20 '16 at 05:27
Yes @duderoot is right, the port 8888 is the default for spring cloud config server but for JHipster it is 8761 (registry) so I suspect that you removed its config from bootstrap.yml and now get the spring boot autoconfiguration for it. Have a look at spring boot and check which condition they use (could be a class, an annotation, a property). – Gaël Marziou Sep 20 '16 at 11:51
@duderoot, your answer was helping in removing some of the warning. Thanks. – Edmond Nov 25 '16 at 19:01
