UW-EpiData/OutbreakInvestigator-Server ? reverse-engineered prompt

Build me the server side for an Outbreak Investigator app, using Java and Maven, so I can run it on Tomcat and hit REST endpoints from a browser or another app.

It should expose a REST service that can take a query request and return the data as JSON, like the example in the README where it fetches case and address data for a date range. I want it to be set up so I can build the project, deploy the WAR, and test it locally on localhost. Please keep it simple and focused on the API layer, with the pieces needed to make the services work reliably.

If you need to look up any current docs for Tomcat or Maven setup details, go ahead and do that. Also make sure the project structure is clean enough that someone can open it in an IDE, build it, and run it without too much trouble.
