title: running spring cloud stream application as web app
body: <p>I have a spring cloud stream application which I also want to run as a web app. The reason I need to hit at <a href="http://host:8080/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://host:8080/</a> to see if the application is up to health check. I have following dependencies but it would spin up tomcat and error I get is unable to establish connection on port 8080</p>
  
  <pre><code>    compile 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web'
      compile 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-amqp'
      compile 'org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-stream'
      compile 'org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-stream-binder-rabbit'
  
      compile 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-actuator'
      compile 'org.glassfish.jersey.core:jersey-client:2.23'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>is there a way to achieve what I am trying to achieve? </p>
