title: Deploy Spring Boot jar on Azure App Service
body: <p>I'm having trouble getting a Spring Boot API to work on an Azure app service. I've followed the Microsoft guide on <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/java/azure/spring-framework/deploy-spring-boot-java-web-app-on-azure" rel="noreferrer">https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/java/azure/spring-framework/deploy-spring-boot-java-web-app-on-azure</a> but having no luck so far.</p>
  
  <p>The application does start (I can see the app boot up in the log file) but http requests to the app service url always end in a timeout.</p>
  
  <p>I've read that Azure app services only pick up embedded tomcat servers that run on port 80 or 8080, but had no luck with that as well.</p>
  
  <p>The app is deployed in the www root and an appropriate web.config is deployed as well.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried running the App Service with and without an application server (Tomcat and Jetty, that is not needed because the server is embedded in the application), but both approaches failed.</p>
  
  <p>Am I missing some other configuration part? Or could this be related to the type of plan I'm using on azure? Maybe some issue with the resource?</p>
  
  <p>Any pointers? </p>
  
  <p>Thx,</p>
