SpringBoot Jar is Redirecting Login endlessly

Hello all I have a JoinFaces app which runs just fine in IntelliJ IDE but when I package as a JAR and try running it this way I get "Too many redirects" when reaching the login page.
My application Jar is about 73 MB. I am not sure what to share in this forum but as a start below is my POM in case it's something obvious in there. Please let me know what I else I can share. I really appreciate the help.
