这是一个扩展我刚才的问题在这里的SO。根据这篇文章，不需要main方法来生成一个deployable war

我正在尝试为上传文件的deployable war这种简单应用程序生成一个。

遵循从spring
boot进行jar到war转换的说明，我更改了我的内容pom.xml以反映以下内容。（只需tomcat在scope中添加依赖项provided）。

参考：http :

plugins-maven-packaging

            <url>https://repo.spring.io/libs-release</url>
        </pluginRepository>
    </pluginRepositories>
</project>

然后我改变Application.java如下

参考：http :
//docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/htmlsingle/#howto-create-
a-deployable-war-file

@SpringBootApplication
public class Application extends SpringBootServletInitializer{

    @Override
    protected SpringApplicationBuilder configure(SpringApplicationBuilder application) {
        return application.sources(Application.class);
    }

    /*public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
    } */
}

我尝试了两种情况。都失败，并显示以下错误（Unable to find main class）。

1. 没有主要方法（注意，我已经在上面注释了主要方法）
2. 没有application.Java文件（注释了此文件中的所有内容-此处未显示）

错误：

PS：当我的主要方法完好无损时，构建成功
