missing org.springframework.boot.web.servlet.server.ServletWebServerFactory

I was running the program and I received this error I'm new to Spring. I used Tomcat 8-5.8. I'm using an Eclipse maven project with simple project checked

APPLICATION FAILED TO START

Description:

Web application could not be started as there was no org.springframework.boot.web.servlet.server.ServletWebServerFactory bean defined in the context.

Action:

Check your application's dependencies for a supported servlet web server.
Check the configured web application type.

I tried this pom.xml:

Main file:

import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.GetMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.PathVariable;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;
import org.springframework.boot.web.servlet.server.ServletWebServerFactory;

@RestController
public class HelloController {
  @GetMapping(value="/{name}")
  public String displayMessage(@PathVariable("name") String name) {
    return "Hello " + name;
  }
}

Running it:

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.EnableAutoConfiguration;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;

@SpringBootApplication
@EnableAutoConfiguration
public class HelloWorldApp {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    SpringApplication.run(HelloController.class, args);
  }
}

• Should I change anything?
• p.s. I asked ChatGPT, Google Bard, Lama, and I don't remember what else I asked

You need to change it to:

@SpringBootApplication
public class HelloWorldApp {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    SpringApplication.run(HelloWorldApp.class, args);  
  }
}

Also, you don't need to specify @EnableAutoConfiguration explicitly. @SpringBootApplication already contains 3 annotations: @Configuration @EnableAutoConfiguration @ComponentScan
