  <p>When I run the web app my rest services are not being found. A spring boot app contains a different folder structure than spring apps before spring boot was released. Can a spring boot app be run from an eclipse configured tomcat ? Also prior to spring boot the controllers section of the app needs to specified. Do I need to update my spring boot app with these settings in order to run from Eclipse tomcat ?</p>
  
  <p>I don't want to create a war and then copy it to webapps folder of tomcat.</p>
  
  <p>Update : The reason to run this app within Eclipse tomcat container is that I have other non spring boot applications that my new spring boot app will depend on. </p>
