I am working on a project which has its backend written in spring boot and UI written in react, the react UI code is clubbed into the maven project carrying spring code like
JavaMavenProject (Project Structure)
->src
->main
->java (Spring boot code)
->reactcode (UI react code)
->resources
->webapp
-> test
I use plugins(snippet below) in pom.xml to build react code as well when i build my java code

Now when I test my entire application through Intellij things run fine, but when i create a war file to run it on "Apache Tomcat",even "index.html" is not loaded, I tried to debug this so I got below(image) mentioned problem
for which I when I removed the starting backslashes for these from the exploded war file in the webapp folder of Apache Tomcat(just to debug the problem)
<script src="/static/js/2.f62791a5.chunk.js"></script>
<script src="/static/js/main.839bea33.chunk.js"></script>
so after changing above code to
<script src="static/js/2.f62791a5.chunk.js"></script>
<script src="static/js/main.839bea33.chunk.js"></script>
index.html along with chunk.js and chunk.css starting to show up like see below image enter image description here
Now, aaahh.. when o tried to click on the links they are not working , I tried to check the network logs and also the server but no luck there as well.
