MAVEN Automation: Deploying projects to Tomcat

1. Configuring Users in Tomcat

Tomcat_home/conf/tomcat-users.xml the configuration file, add the following information:

|--Tomcat-users.xml

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

  <role rolename= "Manager-gui"/>  

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

2. Configuring Tomcat server information in Settings.xml

In the Maven_home/conf/settings.xml configuration file, add the following information

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

<servers> ...  <!--Configure the Tomcat server for the deployment project--<server>      <id>myserver</id>      < username>admin</username>      <password>admin</password>    </server>......</ Servers>

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

3. Configuring release information in the Pom.xml of the project

Add Project release information in the project management configuration file

|--need to be aware that Tomcat has done some updates here, and most of the online tutorials and information here have different problems. Please refer to the following:

Tomcat website Tip:

Since version 2.0-beta-1 Tomcat Mojos have been renamed to Tomcat6 and TOMCAT7 with the same goals.

You must configure your POM to use this new groupId:

Prior to the Tomcat release plugin, from the 2.0-beta-1 version, Tomcat Mojos was replaced with TOMCAT6/TOMCAT7, which must be configured in your project in the following way

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

<pluginManagement>      <plugins>        <!--configuration Tocmat6 plug-in-        <plugin>          <groupid >org.apache.tomcat.maven</groupId>          <artifactId>tomcat6-maven-plugin</artifactId>          <version>2.3-SNAPSHOT</version>        </plugin>

<!--configuring TOCMAT7 plugins--        <plugin>          <groupId>org.apache.tomcat.maven</groupId>          <artifactId>tomcat7-maven-plugin</artifactId>          <version>2.3-SNAPSHOT</version>        </plugin>      </plugins>    </pluginManagement>

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Alternatively, you can configure the following information directly in the Maven_home/conf/settings.xml

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

<pluginGroups> ...    .    <pluginGroup>org.apache.tomcat.maven</pluginGroup> ...    .  </pluginGroups>

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

4. Project published in Maven

After Tomcat has updated the configuration, some of the commands for releasing the project have been adjusted accordingly.

|--Publishing a project

|--Unload Project

|--Startup Project

|--Stop Project

Redeploying a WAR project "Publish Project"

The goals required to redeploy a WAR project depend upon how it was deployed:

• To redeploy a WAR project deployed by Tomcat:deploy You can type: use Tomcat6/7:deploy to publish projects

  MVN Package Tomcat6/7:redeploy

• To redeploy a WAR project deployed by tomcat:exploded you can type:

  MVN war:exploded Tomcat6/7:redeploy

• To redeploy a WAR project deployed by Tomcat:inplace you can type:

  MVN War:inplace Tomcat6/7:redeploy

• To redeploy a context.xml file deployed by Tomcat:deploy you can type:

  MVN Tomcat6/7:redeploy

  Note: Depending on the docBase specified in the context.xml if also need to call war:exploded or War:inplace as above.
