How to Deploy WAR Files in Tomcat: A Step-by-Step Guide
In Tomcat, you can specify the directory of the war file by modifying the server.xml configuration file. The specific steps are as follows:
- Open the conf folder in the Tomcat installation directory and locate the server.xml configuration file.
- Specify the path of the war file by adding the
tag inside the tag, for example:
<Context docBase="/path/to/your/warfile.war" path="/yourcontext"/>
The docBase attribute specifies the path of the war file, while the path attribute specifies the access path of the application.
- The file known as server.xml
This way you can specify the directory of the war package to run it in Tomcat.
