Where is CATALINA_BASE/webapps folder for Tomcat 8 on Mac?

catalina, java, macos, tomcat, tomcat8

Solution

use following command

$catalina -h

it will show the directories you need, alternatively you can upload war file using tomcat manager's web interface

Problem

I ran `brew install tomcat` to install tomcat 8. Now I need to put my `.war` file in `CATALINA_BASE/webapps` I cannot find that directory anywhere on my computer. How can I locate this folder so I can put my `.war` in there?
