Is there any way to run a war file on localhost without having the need to have tomcat installed on the machine? I have built a web application using gradle, spring and tomcat and I would like to be able to send the project as a war file to someone else and have them run it, even if they don't have tomcat installed.

Make it a runnable jar which contains tomcat inside. And then start the application with:
java -jar myWebApplication.jar

I was using the gradle tomcat pluging by bmuschko. Would this still work? – sahil chabria May 11 '20 at 08:31

With Spring Boot this would be one parameter. Unfortunately I don't know the plugin by bmuschko. – Twistleton May 11 '20 at 08:35
