[FIXED] Spring boot app terminated at startup

Issue

I have created a spring boot project using spring initilizer. I use spring-boot-cli version v1.5.3.RELEASE.

I just try to run:

mvn clean install spring-boot:run -e

But my server won't stay running, it is closing automatically. On port 8080 I have no other connection:

LATER EDIT:

 package com.example;

    import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
    import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestParam;
    import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;

    @RestController
    public class DemoController {

        @RequestMapping(value="/echo")
            public String echo(@RequestParam(value="request", defaultValue="Hello!") String request) {
                return request;
            }
    }

Still not working. EDIT: here is the pom file:

        </plugins>
    </build>


</project>

Solution

I added in the pom file a tomcat dependency and it worked.

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