Deploy JMIX application to Tomcat

Support
#1

I want to generate war file to deploy in tomcat 9. I understand we have to extend the main application class to @SpringBootApplication as follows…

@SpringBootApplication
public class MyApplication extends SpringBootServletInitializer {
// …
}

But is that the main-screen created by the application builder or something else?
Do building the war file, do we follow the same way to CUBA i.e. context file to contain the connection/server parameters like follows?

my-context.xml

<Context>
   <Manager pathname=""/>
   <!-- url="jdbc:sqlserver://localhost;databaseName=mydb"/> -->
    <Resource
        name="jdbc/CubaDS"
        type="javax.sql.DataSource"
        maxIdle="2"
        maxTotal="40"
        maxWaitMillis="5000"
        driverClassName="com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver"
        username="......."
        password="........."
        url="jdbc:sqlserver://localhost;databaseName=mydb"/>
</Context>

build.Grale:

task buildInteaccWar(type: CubaWarBuilding) {
    singleWar = true
    webXmlPath = 'modules/web/web/WEB-INF/single-war-web.xml'
    includeContextXml = true
    includeJdbcDriver = true
    appProperties = [
            'cuba.automaticDatabaseUpdate': true,
            'cuba.webPort'                : 8080,
            'cuba.connectionUrlList'      : 'http://localhost:8080/myapp-core'
    ]
    coreContextXmlPath = 'modules/core/web/META-INF/my-context.xml'
}

Also didn’t find bootwar in gradle task

Please see documentation on deploying WAR. It also has recommendations on using external datasource defined in JNDI.
