Json Test Cases are getting exceuted when try to run integration from a separate application

1. Application-1 ( Source to be tested) is running in localhost:8080
2. Application-2 ( Test application which contains all JSON test cases of application -1) is running on localhost 8085.

I have given the target env in properties file for app-2. I have custom API like /excuetetest and trying to call all test methods on hitting this API endpoint. in this case i am not able to excuete any of test cases. Help me in this scenario.

this APP-2 will be stared using command java -jar application.jar and doesnt have mvn in the ec2 instance.

suggest me a way to run the json test cases from APP-2 which hits endpoints of APP-1 without doing mvn clean install

Start by examining the custom /excuetetest endpoint, the properties-file target environment, and how Application-2 is packaged as application.jar. Verify whether the JSON test cases are discoverable and executable without Maven while calling Application-1 at localhost:8080; done means the endpoint runs the packaged tests successfully from the EC2 instance.
