Hi John, Sounds like TDS might have some other problems running as an un-packed war. I've added an issue [1] to our issue tracking system to take a look at this. I'm guessing it won't happen for 4.6 though. We haven't looked at Spring Boot. Would the benefits be similar to what you mentioned for webapp-runner, simplified deployment?
