I have created a dynamic web projects in eclipse which includes jsp pages and servlet.The back end of this application is Mysql and i include mysql-connector-java-5.1.15-bin.jar in the lib folder. I want to deploy this web application using Tomcat server instead of running this application in eclipse using tomcat. How is it possible?. Can any one suggest any sample codes or methods to solve this problem.
copy the WAR file to Tomcats webapps folder and it should auto deploy. answer by Will Hartung is correct
you need to build a war file (or ear depending on which technologies you use), and then deploy that to your container. (in the tomcat/webapps folder i believe). Ant and Maven, two popular technologies for managing a project, both support doing this. There is plenty of documentation on the web as well
http://www.vaannila.com/ant/ant-sample-build-file-war-1.html
Step 1: Go to Windows > SHow View > Other > Select Servers
Step 2: In Server Tab . Right Click > Add New Server > Add Run time if not available and add tomcat server.
Step 3: Add your project to it and finish. If you will see in Server tab, you will see your project.
Step 4: Right click on server and choose either debug or run.
You can use ant build script by running that script from your eclipse your web application will automatically deploy into your tomcat. Another one option is to copy the war file into the tomcat's webapps folder
After export your application from Eclipse to .WAR file you can deploy, undeploy and reload it at Tomcat Web Application Manager Panel: http://localhost:8080/manager/html.

I have two applications with two separate WAR artifacts. One is a WAR exploded directory for my front-end Angular app, and one is a WAR archive file for my back-end Spring REST api. I'm currently using IntelliJ IDEA to deploy my front-end to a local Tomcat server and was wondering how, if at all possible, I could configure IntelliJ to run my two artifacts on Tomcat simultaneously. I know I can do this by putting both under Tomcat webapps directory manually, but I was wondering if it was configurable in IntelliJ, and if so, how?
Yes, you should be able to do that.
If you are using Ultimate, you can create a "Local Tomcat" run
configuration in Project1, and go to the "Deployment" tab and drop in
the WAR file for your Project1. Then drop in the WAR file from your
other project (call it Project2) as an External Source. You would
then have both WARs in one run configuration.
This is the answer I found out under this link.
I have a Java web project in Eclipse which I run through Eclipse on Apache Tomcat.
Is there a way for me to permanently deploy the project on Tomcat such that it runs without having to open Eclipse and rather just starting Tomcat?
If yes, then what steps do I need to follow?
*UPDATE*
If I take the .war file and deploy it on another system will it work? Note that I am using a MySql database in this project. So will transferring the .war file also transfer the database?
You package the project into a war file (since it is a web project) and put that one into the Tomcat's webapps folder. The deployment should then happen automatically, when Tomcat is started.
Generate a WAR file within Eclipse. (Properties->Export->WAR File)
Place this file in the {installation}/webapps folder of Tomcat.
It should deploy now.
I'm working on my first Java EE project with NetBeans IDE. My application server is the integrated GlassFish.
At this moment my project run locally on my Mac with MySQL database. How can I deploy it on my web server?
You need to just create the war file and copy it to your web server. When you start your web-server it will automatically deploy the war file.
You need to use the remote application server functionalities of deploy.
If it's also Glassfish you can use the Administration Console to do it - e.g. example.com:4848 (defaut port for Glassfish admin portal).
Also you may use Cargo Maven Plugin in order to automate the deploy.
You have different possibilities:
Netbeans can deploy your application on the integrated Glassfish server. This should happen automatically if you Run you project and the Glassfish server is selected for this project. You can change the selected server for every project under Project Properties -> Run
You can deploy .war files via the Glassfish admin console if the Glassfish server is already started. Navigate to http://localhost:4848, go to Applications and click on Deploy
You can manually deploy you applications. You have to copy either the .war file or a folder containing the contents of the .war file to the folder /GLASSFISH_HOME/glassfish/domains/domain1/autodeploy
I use Intellij IDEA 11.1.2 Ultimate Edition. I run Tomcat 6 from Intellij IDEA. Beside my .war application I have another folder that has static HTML files. When I run tomcat manually from command line I put that folder under Tomcat's webapp folder and it automatically deploys it and works. However I want to debug my application so I want to run Tomcat from Intellij IDEA. I think that Intellij IDEA deploys tomcat applications into .IntelliJIdea11\system\tomcat folder. Where I can put my folder that contains static files when I run Tomcat from Intellij IDEA?
(I request the main page of static HTML file folder within an iframe at one of my HTML pages of .war file )
Any ideas?
Tomcat Run configuration has an option to deploy other applications from the server (that already present in the original webapps folder), like your static files:
Another option would be to create a second module for the static content with another artifact and deploy both artifacts from IntelliJ IDEA.
I think that CrazyCoder's answer is a little bit better. But here is my solution.
Go to File -> Project Structure...
Select your Web facet
In section Web resource directories click to +
Web resource directory path is your static content
Relative path in deployment directory is where you want to find it in your application war
If you want to debug you have no need to run Tomcat from IDEA. You can use remote debugging feature.
Just set up Tomcat to accept debug(listen to particular port). And create debug configuration from IDEA to attach to this port.
Can you publish a .war directly from eclipse to a web server.
I know it's not a programming question, but I still think it's a relevant question.
Thanks
yes you can.
right click on the project, select export -> select web - > then war and give destination which is your deploy folder.
Yes, but it depends a lot on your project configuration. Generally you need to define the server in eclipse, and choose "Run on Server".
See this as an example of deploying on JBoss server from eclipse.
In case you are using Ant then using "deploy" target will work.
This should be pretty easy:
Import the war file into eclipse. File > Import... > Web > WAR File.
(likely only works on eclipse for java ee development)
Pick the war file, create a new project (any new name works), click finish
Add the new project to your server
Blam!
If your project is setup as a web project in Eclipse, you can choose to run it on a server (You'll have to configure the server first). This will publish the war file directly on the server from Eclipse.
This is easiest if the web server has an auto-deploy facility, with a magic directory. Then just File-> Export the WAR file into the auto-deploy folder.
If not, or if you want to be able to debug the WAR file inside Eclipse you need to have an appropriate server connector in the WTP module (which is included by default in the Java EE edition of Eclipse).
If you want to programmatically push the WAR file to a given server directly from within Eclipse, then you can e.g. use the Tomcat Ant tasks - http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/manager-howto.html#Executing%20Manager%20Commands%20With%20Ant - or use the Cargo library to do this with many different types of servers - http://cargo.codehaus.org/
I created my own ant file, and set eclipse to use that ant file when building.
Part of that ant build file is a target that publishes to Tomcat, so I can just right click
and chose install from within eclipse.

The basis of such an ant file is here: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/appdev/build.xml.txt
Yes, you do that
Start the build the application
Create the war file
A WAR (or "web archive") file is simply a packaged webapp directory. It is created using the standard Java jar tool. For example:
cd /home/alex/webapps/mywebapp
jar cf ../mywebapp.war *
- copy that war file to the following deploy directory in your server
say in Jboss its like this
"C:\Jboss405\server\default\deploy"
I hope this might be clear, else let me know any issues if you face any issues
