I'm trying to launch a very simple Wavemaker war using directions from a Heroku tutorial: Deploying Tomcat-based Java Web Applications with Webapp Runner
This tutorial uses the following java syntax to run a war: $ java -jar target/dependency/webapp-runner.jar target/*.war
When I deploy to Heroku or run this command locally I get the same misbehaviour. The page opens with a never ending spinning timer. The app never starts.
I would have posted a screen-shot of this but I apparently do not have enough "stack-overflow points." :(. This link has an attachment that has the screen shot.

Any thoughts how I can correct this problems?
