Running tomcat maven plugin in a multi modules project
I have a multi-module project like this:
ROOT:pom
--- web:war
--- domain:jar
--- service:jar
--- dao:jar
And i configure tomcat7-maven-plugin in pom.xml of module *web *so that I
can using tomcat:run to run this web application.
But if I change something in other module, for example, add a new entity
class in module domain, I have to install the ROOT to local repo first
before I run tomcat:run within module web, otherwise a error: cannot find
symbol will be reported if I run tomcat:run directly.
So how can I install other modules first before I run tomcat:run within
module web if I change something in other modules?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards.

FWIK of TC
anything you pack into war deployed to $TOMCAT_HOME will be unpacked when TC autodeploy feature is true
if you may have something like contents of webapp1:
webapp1/WEB-INF/classes/AllWebapp1*.class
./WEB-INF/lib/dependencyA.jar
./WEB-INF/lib/dependencyB.jar
./WEB-INF/web.xml
./WEB-INF/index.jsp
*when TC HTTPClient issues request to http://server:8080/reload?path=webapp1.war will reload (when autodeploy=true)*
$TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/webapp1/WEB-INF/classes/AllWebapp1*.class
./WEB-INF/lib/dependencyA.jar
./WEB-INF/lib/dependencyB.jar
./WEB-INF/web.xml
./WEB-INF/index.jsp
so the effort here is to fatpack your webapp war with all dependencies will need before issuing HTTPClient request to tc
does this conform to your understanding?

Apache Tomcat Maven Plugin - Run Mojo<https://tomcat.apache.org/maven-plugin-2.2/run-mojo-features.html>
tomcat.apache.org
Run Mojo: run your Maven war project quickly! When developing a war project, you usually build your war and deploy it to an installed Tomcat instance.

(too bad there's been no new release for 4 years though, this is probably
one of the best thought-out Maven plugin out there in terms of usability
wrt multi-module projects, and without being "hackish"; without that,
people keep having to install all their snapshots into their local repo and
rebuilding them over and over again, if only to make sure they're the ones
for the correct commit / code state)

Tomcat Maven plugin has built-in support for reactors, so run it at root
rather than within the web submodule (possibly with "-pl web -am"). It will
automatically compile all (needed) submodules and launch Tomcat, and with
auto-deploy will automatically reload the webapp to pickup changes in any
submodule.
