Creating simple REST webservice on Eclipse - json

Question

I am trying to start with a simple web service following the example : https://spring.io/guides/gs/rest-service/
I am unable to get any response when I hit the service URL. The way I am trying to run this is by running the project on Apache web server from Eclipse.
This is my controller:
package com.nscm.controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;
import com.nscm.model.User;
#RestController
public class NSCMController {
#RequestMapping("/getuser")
public User getUser()
{
System.out.println("NSCMController.getUser()");
return new User();
}
}
This is my service class:
package com.nscm.service;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.EnableAutoConfiguration;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.ComponentScan;
#ComponentScan("com")
#EnableAutoConfiguration
public class Application {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Application.main()");
SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
}
}
Even though as the example mentions the web.xml and the spring.xml is not required, even after placing these, my code does not work. None of the SOPs are called when I hit the URL. Please help me if I am missing anything here.
