Cant Deploy Spring Boot on Tomcat - spring

Question

I have a Spring Boot application that I am developing. I am using maven to make a war file, so I can deploy on a Tomcat server. On the embedded tomcat the app works perfectly all is working good, but when I deploy the app, although it shows now mistakes when I try to access one of the rest controllers url it shows http 404 error, that the resource could no be located. I am following the steps given on the Spring website.
This is my pom.xml, where I try both commenting and uncommenting the tomcat dependency.

I have a little application for testing schedule tasks and I was able to deploy it on a tomcat server. So I dont know if there anything special when deploying an app that has rest controllers. But as I said, when I run the app on the embedded tomcat everything works fine and I get my json response back.
Thanks very much
