Azure uploaded jar but doesn't run it (Spring boot)

Question

I\'ve got myself an Azure Web App Service and a SQL database to go with it. I\'m using Azures Intellij plugin to \"Run On Web App\". Issue is, it doesn\'t run anything, however

Answer 1

It sounds like your SpringBoot project lacked a web.config file which will be deployed at the path wwwroot for helping to handle your ROOT.jar.

Here is a sample web.config file for SpringBoot runnable jar.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
  <system.webServer>
    <handlers>
      <add name="httpPlatformHandler" path="*" verb="*" modules="httpPlatformHandler" resourceType="Unspecified" />
    </handlers>
    <httpPlatform processPath="%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java.exe"
        arguments="-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -Dserver.port=%HTTP_PLATFORM_PORT% -jar &quot;%HOME%\site\wwwroot\ROOT.jar&quot;">
    </httpPlatform>
  </system.webServer>
</configuration>

As above, it comes from my answer of a similar SO thread Deploying Springboot to Azure App Service which you can refer to.
