an easier way to deploy war file?
Hi,
I use Tomcat 5.5, I installed it in an ubuntu, I have to start it as root
with startup.sh. to deplay a war file during development I have to do
following:
1. ftp to my home directory
2. ssh to the host as root, shutdown.sh
3. delete the program directory under webapps
4. copy war file from my home directory to webapps/
5. start again tomcat server.
any easy way to do this? Thanks.
A.C.

The Tomcat manager app simplifies this significantly.
Take a look, and check whether you can use it:

Hi Gregor,
Thanks, i tried this, it works, sometimes I can see the updated program
immediately, but sometimes I got all those 404 errors, I have to wait for a
few minutes before I can see the updates reflected, any idea? how to reflect
changes asap? Thanks.

If you do that and want to use the manager again, you should replace
those files ?
If so, I'll be really annoying to do that.
For my part, I did a deployment shell to do all the gregor's action
(because my servers are on DMZ).
Last thing, the less applications are deployed the faster the server is.
That is also why I don't use the manager.

If you set up Tomcat correctly, and place all your jars in the correct
places you can hot deploy the war without a restart. This works over
plain http, you don't even need access to the server, all you need is a
password for the manager (it's better to use a database realm).
There are many ways to secure the manager in production, the simplest is
to remove the manager.xml and host-manager.xml files from the
$CATALINA_BASE/conf/Catalina/localhost/ directory, or if your
configuration permits allow the manager url to resolve only on the
internal network, this is a typical scenario if tomcat is left to run on
a secure port.

is to make the manager URL resolve

- *never* start tomcat as root: create a user "tomcat" if not already
existing and run tomcat with that user-id
- if it's not a production-server with very high security, grant
ftp-access to user "tomcat"
- from your local pc, ftp to your ubuntu, login as user "tomcat"
- change to directory "www/webapps"
- put your web-app.war
that's it
be sure that autodeploy is set to true. having done so, there's no
need to delete any directories on your ubuntu-server
cheers
gregor
ps: before starting tomcat as user tomcat, you might have to issue
chown -R tomcat:tomcat * in $CATALINA_HOME

Hi,
maybe there is a better way, but at least I guess you can use Ant to
automate all that in one task.

I'd need to check the code but AFAIR it only does that it you use one
of the anti-locking attributes.

But doesn't that still unpack the wars to the work directory or
something similar? I was under the impression it always unpacked the
wars for performance reasons -- just not always in the webapps directory.

Not always the case. This only happens if unpackWARs on the host is
set to true (the default)

No. Tomcat will create a directory either in webapps or in the work
directory depending on settings, but it will expand the war file
regardless. You wouldn't want tomcat to attempt to run your webapp
archived anyway -- performance would suffer horribly.

Hi,
Can war file be deployed without creating a directory, I meant, tomcat can
just use the WAR file without creating a directory?
Thanks,
