[Answered] Can I deploy a jar file made with Spring Boot?

[cridus]

So, I need hosting for the backend of a small application I'm doing. It's very simple and I made it with Spring Boot. This allows me to run the compiled .jar file just with

java -jar TheJarFile.jar

(assuming the jar's name is "TheJarFile.jar").

It runs on its own, self-contained Tomcat.

 

Is it possible to use something like this in your servers? Or do I absolutely need to have a .war file?

 

 

Side question: do I need to prevent by myself people from trying to DDoS me (it's not very likely but it's possible) or do you already protect your servers from that kind of things?

 

Thanks for the help.

It must be something that can run through our cPanel/Apache instance of Tomcat, so it'd need to be a WAR. We don't allow custom daemons or other standalone applications that run their own server.

Ok, I suspected that. I'll have to find out how to make it become a .war...

I guess you don't use Java 1.8, right? I haven't seen it written anywhere.

 

Edit: nevermind, I managed to make a .war and to make it run with java 1.7.

Tommy uses java 1.8.
