Unable to call spring boot application service when deployed to tomcat server. - spring

Question

I have a SpringBootApp that I can run in eclipse by right-clinging and then selecting Run as -> Java Application. However, when I build a .war file and deploy it to my tomcat server. The console looks as though the application should have deployed but I'm unable to hit my rest services. I'm getting a 404 error. I really have no clue why it is not working so if anyone knows a solution could you explain why... Also, when I look in my war file i see all the classes files needed to deploy the application.
You can download the code github.
Controller:
package com.sample.pkg;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.ComponentScan;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestParam;
#Controller
#ComponentScan("com.sample.pkg")
public class SampleController {
#Autowired
SampleComponent component;
#RequestMapping("/sendOption")
public String update(#RequestParam(value = "option") String option) {
if (option.equalsIgnoreCase("option1")) {
component.updateStatus(true);
return "Something was updated";
} else if (option.equalsIgnoreCase("option2")) {
component.updateStatus(false);
return "Something else was updated";
}
return "You have entered in an option that is invalid. Please enter a valid option.";
}
#RequestMapping("/getOption")
public String control() {
if (component.getStatus()) {
return "option1";
} else if (!component.getStatus()) {
return "option2";
}
return "error";
}
}
Application.java
package com.chicken.door;

#SpringBootApplication
#PropertySource("classpath:application.properties")
public class Application extends SpringBootServletInitializer {
#Override

return application.sources(Application.class);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
}
}
