Maven Tomcat7-maven-plugin deploying MAVEN Web projects

1: Configure the Tomcat Manager User:

Re-unzipped a new TOMCAT7, open Tomcat_user.xml in the Conf directory under the Tomcat root directory, add Manager roles and users under <tomcat-users> node for Tomcat Maven Plugin automatically deploys the application with the following XML code:

<tomcat-users>    <role rolename= "Manager-gui"/>      <role rolename= "Manager-script"/>      <user username= "Alexgaoyh" password= "Alexgaoyh" roles= "Manager-gui, Manager-script"/> <!--username and password can be other character string --></tomcat-users>

Adding Tomcat Server to the 2:maven configuration

Open maven's settings.xml file, if it is a locally installed version of MAVEN, the file is installed in the root directory conf/settings.xml, if you are using the eclipse built-in maven, the file is the current system user Directory/ . M2/setting.xml. Configure the manager user information for Tomcat under the <servers> node, with the following XML code:

<servers>    <server>       <id>Tomcat7</id>       <username>alexgaoyh</username >       <password>alexgaoyh</password>     </server><servers>

The ID is used to configure the server in the Pom.xml file, with the user name and password Tomcat_user.xml in the same configuration.

3: Add the Tomcat Service to the MAVEN project:

Open the Project Pom.xml file and add the Tomcat Maven plugin plugin under the <plugins> node with the following XML code:

<build><finalName>web</finalName><plugins><plugin> <groupId> Org.apache.tomcat.maven</groupid> <artifactId>tomcat7-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version >2.2</version> <configuration> <url>http://localhost:8080/manager/text</url> <!-- The Tomcat management path--><server>tomcat7</server> <!--is the same as the server ID in the settings.xml file--><path>/web </path> < deployment location for!--applications--></configuration>     </plugin></plugins></build>
