Utilizing STS, I have recently created a full-stack application that is one half REST (interacting with the JS front-end) and the other half JPA (interacting with the MySQL db back-end). When I was ready to upload my application to the cloud, I created a .war file from the REST application.
.war file created from REST portion of the application
However, once uploaded to the cloud, the application has been facing issues. While the front-end is functional, the app appears to be unable to communicate with the database, and I'm wondering if I am supposed to create a separate .war file for the JPA portion as well, or whether the JPA portion is automatically packaged in the existing .war file as laid out in the settings.gradle file.
