I am trying to run an spring-boot web application war file in external tomcat where many other applications (Spring and not spring-boot) are already running. There are some dependencies at some shared location on same server which is loaded into application at runtime which is configured in catalina.properties file common.loader

I have been struggling trying to create a library with the use of the beans from it to a different project and call a method from it

I would like to ask about the experience of a production run of a Spring Boot web application, with embeded Tomcat, based on Maven or Gradle. So far I have been working with a vanilla Spring application, deployed on Tomcat, without dependencies manager, with all external jars collected in /WEB-INF/lib/.
