Tomcat-Publishing Web Apps

The URL to access the Admin Web App is http://localhost:8080/manager/html.

User name and password settings: Open the Tomcat-users.xml file in the Conf subdirectory of the Tomcat installation directory, as follows:

<?xml version= ' 1.0 ' encoding= ' utf-8 '?>

<tomcat-users>

</tomcat-users>

Users can be added between <tomcat-users> and </tomcat-users> by adding a user below:

<role rolename= "manager"/> //Add a role

<user username= "Tomcat" password= "Tomcat" roles= "manager"/> //Add a user

All Web Apps in Tomcat are listed in the Applications table, and in the Commands column of the table there are some central management commands for each Web app:

Start to start the web App

Stop for stopping web apps

Reload for overloading Web applications

Undeploy for undoing web apps

The text box after the "Expire Sessions" button is used to fill in the session timeout for this web app, which defaults to 30 minutes and then clicks the "Expire Sessions" button to take effect.

There are three ways to publish a Tomcat app:

Method One:

1. Enter the Web application management interface

2, "context path (optional)" is the context path after publishing the Web App.

The "XML configuration file URL" is the full path to the Web application's profile. xml file, typically in the Web-inf directory of your web App

The war or Directory URL is the root directory where the Web app is located or the packaged war file.

Method Two:

Open "Conf/server.xml" with the editor and add the following before "</Host>":

<context path= "/wuhaixu" //Configure the name of the virtual directory

Docbase= "E:/programfiles/myeclipse2014/filedowmload/webroot" //virtual directory pointing to the actual directory

debug= "0" >

</Context>

Method Three:

Create a new XML file with the same name as the Web app, such as "Wuhaixu.xml", under the "Conf/catalina/localhost" subdirectory of the Tomcat installation directory.

<context path= "/wuhaixu" docbase= "e:/programfiles/myeclipse2014/filedowmload/webroot" debug= "0" >

</Context>

Tip: If you don't have a "conf/catalina/localhost" subdirectory, build one yourself.

Why put the Wuhaixu.xml file in the "Conf/catalina/localhost" subdirectory of the Tomcat installation directory? Open Server.xml can find such a text: <engine name= "Catalina" defaulthost= "localhost" >, which means that Tomcat by default, the name of the Web engine is taken as Catalina, The host is set to localhost by default.
