Stackoverflow deploying webapp generated with spring-boot to jboss - maven

Question

I'm building a webapp with Spring-boot and running and testing it perfectly alright. I've also configured it to create a WAR file by following the instructions on their official documentation.
When I run mvn clean package it builds successfully and generates the war file. When I deploy the war file to jboss 6 however, I get this error:
DEPLOYMENTS IN ERROR:
Deployment "vfs:///C:/jboss-6.1.0.Final/server/default/deploy/energyworx-conversion-tool-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.war" is in error due to the following reason(s): java.lang.StackOverflowError

After setting logging to DEBUG, I also see this before the error above:

What am I doing wrong? I have no web.xml or Spring XML configuration files. I assume Spring-boot will take care of these for me. I'm building with maven and this is my POM.xml:
