Running a "fat" spring-boot war as an application

Hi,

there is something strange with running "fat" Spring Boot applications (i.e. these can be run as stand-alone applications or in a web container) e.g. https://github.com/spring-guides/gs-convert-jar-to-war-maven.git. Just import the project and run main in class Application. It seems to close the application context immediately and exits.

If one removes dependency

dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-tomcat</artifactId>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

then the application does run. It would be great if Intellij would support both modes. Any ideas what is wrong with this setup?
