Hi everyone!

The story so far...

   - I built a little web app using Spring Boot with old-school JSP pages 
   using Java 11, which runs fine locally
   - Note that Spring Boot appears to only officially support JSP with WAR 
   packaging
   - My web app provides functionality that will only get used a few times 
   a week (sounds like GAE Standard Environment would be perfect!)
   - I spent quite a lot of time trying to get GAE Standard deployment to 
   to work with a WAR file (I failed)
   - I spent quite a lot of time trying to get Spring Boot with JSP working 
   packaged as a JAR (I failed)
   - In the end, I gave up, containerized it with Docker, and deployed it 
   to the GAE Flexible Environment instead (where it is now, working)

The usage profile of my little web app makes MUCH more sense in Standard 
environment and would save me $ that way.  Maybe if I...

   - Gave up on Java 11 and reverted to Java 8 I could get GAE Standard to 
   accept a WAR file?
   - Gave up on Spring Boot and/or JSP and used some other framework / 
   technology for my web app I could package as a JAR?

I was hoping someone might have some insight they'd be willing to share.  
Does anyone know a trick to get GAE Standard to take a WAR or get Spring 
Boot + JSP working in a JAR?  Can WARs really be made to work if I 
downgrade to Java 8?  I just hate the idea of throwing money away on an 
ever-present instance that will only get used for a couple of hours a week, 
but other directions to try carry significant dev time.  Any ideas?  I'm 
hoping I've just missed something obvious.

Thanks!
-Todd
