Deploying maven project to existing Tomcat server

Currently my project setup is such that when I do a clean and install my maven project it downloads the tomcat version mentioned in the pom.xml and deploys the war files to it.

I need to change the config such that war files are deployed to tomcat which I have manually downloaded, not a single maven download. This is to use the settings I configured for the manually loaded tomcat.

Is it possible? If so, how?

You can try tomcat-maven-plugin , which allows you to deploy over context.xml, exploded war or just war file into existing tomcat instances.

I know you will probably need the - Maven

one answer to this question - me too. However, I found that the easiest but most flexible task was to build a war with Maven and deploy it with ANT

. The tomcat-maven plugin was not strong enough for me because I needed to deploy a .war for a local install Tomcat

to AND install on a remote machine with scp

.

My file looks like this ANT

build.xml

:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

      

        
        
        
      

    



<target name="deploy_local">
    <echo>Deploying .war to local Tomcat</echo>
    <copy file="target/My.war" todir="/tomcat/webapps">
    </copy>
</target>

<target name="deploy_production">
    <echo>Deploying .war to production Tomcat</echo>
    <move file="target/My.war" tofile="target/ROOT.war"/>
    <scp file="target/ROOT.war"
        trust="true"
        todir="me:password@154.14.232.122:/tomcat/webapps"
        port="22">
    </scp>
</target>



You can see that I even renamed the .war file from My.war to ROOT.war for a production deployment.

Then follow this procedure: mvn clean package

then run a local or production target ANT

for deployment.
