How to deploy WAR with Maven to Tomcat?
maven, tomcat
Solution
Meanwhile I resolved it. There were a few issues.
Firstly I set Goal in the Eclipse run configuration to `tomcat:deploy`.
And I changed `pom.xml` following
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>tomcat-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<url>http://localhost:8080/manager/text</url>
<server>Apache_Tomcat_7_x86</server>
<path>/HelloWorld</path>
</configuration>
</plugin>
URL in configuration depends on Tomcat version. For me works `text`, for others works `html` on end of URL. And of course, in `tomcat-users.xml` must be set role `manager-script` or `manager-gui`.
Maybe it helps to others.
Problem
I use the Maven with Eclipse. Is possible build the project and then deploy built WAR file to Tomcat server? I use Windows. I can build `WAR` file, and also deploy it on the server manually. But I want to deploy the `WAR` file automatically after build action and it doesn't work. I am novice in Maven. Should I set something in my run configuration? I have set goals to `install` value. pom.xml ``` <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd"> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <groupId>HelloWorld</groupId> <artifactId>HelloWorld</artifactId> <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version> <packaging>war</packaging> <name>HelloWorld</name> <properties> <spring.version>3.2.2.RELEASE</spring.version> </properties> <dependencies> <!-- Java Server Pages Standard Tag Library --> <dependency> <groupId>jstl</groupId> <artifactId>jstl</artifactId> <version>1.2</version> </dependency> <!-- Spring 3 dependencies --> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework</groupId> <artifactId>spring-core</artifactId> <version>${spring.version}</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework</groupId> <artifactId>spring-beans</artifactId> <version>${spring.version}</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework</groupId> <artifactId>spring-context</artifactId> <version>${spring.version}</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework</groupId> <artifactId>spring-web</artifactId> <version>${spring.version}</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework</groupId> <artifactId>spring-webmvc</artifactId> <version>${spring.version}</version> </dependency> </dependencies> <build> <directory>${project.basedir}/target</directory> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.3.2</version> <configuration> <source>${java-version}</source> <target>${java-version}</target> </configuration> </plugin> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId> <executions> <execution> <id>install</id> <phase>install</phase> <goals> <goal>sources</goal> </goals> </execution> </executions> </plugin> <!-- Maven Tomcat Plugin --> <plugin> <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId> <artifactId>tomcat-maven-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <server>Apache_Tomcat_7_x86</server> <warFile>${project.build.directory}/HelloWorld-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.war</warFile> </configuration> </plugin> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.3</version> <configuration> <packagingExcludes>WEB-INF/web.xml</packagingExcludes> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins> </build> ``` Furthermore I changed `settings.xml` file in path `~/.m2/settings.xml`. settings.xml ``` <servers> <server> <id>Apache_Tomcat_7_x86</id> <username>admin</username> <password>admin</password> </server> </servers> ```
