how to run a jar in amazon Ec2 and access it over the internet

Question

I am fairly new to AWS Instances. I am able to install java in the EC2 instance and able to run my jar. but I am not able to access the jar from the internet. It's a rest service build using spring boot. It run's in tomcat port 8080. But I see the jar running in private mode where it can only be accessed from EC2 instance(from my understanding). But how can I run the jar in the EC2 instance where I can access it over the internet.

Assure that the port 80 is open and other permissions on AWS allow for accessing it. — henry, Apr 21 '17 at 16:00

Add TCP port 8080 as inbound rule to your security group.

aws ec2 authorize-security-group-ingress \
  --group-id $SECURITY_GROUP_ID \
  --protocol tcp --port 8080 --cidr 0.0.0.0/0
