Answer 1

As described in the documentation you need to mark Spring Boot's embedded Tomcat as <scope>provided</scope> so that embedded Tomcat's classes don't clash with the classes of the Tomcat to which you are deploying the war file.

Add the following to your <dependencies> in your pom:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-tomcat</artifactId>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
