Unable to access the spring boot rest service from the WL server - spring-boot

Question

I am very new to spring boot stuff. My question is about how to access a spring boot rest service deployed on weblogc server. I have successfully deployed (at least it seems from the WL console) the spring boot war file to the weblogic 12c container. But I am not able to access the service.
I am trying to use the following url to access:
http://host:port/myweb/resource/hello -- I am also not sure whether I should use WL server port on which the war is deployed or 8080 (default spring-boot port)
I have given all the code below. Am i missing anything? I would greatly appreciate any help

Your configuration seems ok. The default port of Weblogic is 7001, and every web application is deployed using this port.
To verify the deployment you can access to the console from (http://host:7001/console) and go to the Deployments section, there you must find your application deployed and it must be in State OK. Your can check there your web application context there.
One thing I noticed is your file is called: Weblogic.xml, but it must be called weblogic.xml all lower case.
Let me know if it is not working.
