What is the method for running a WAR package in Tomcat?
To deploy and run a war file on a Tomcat server, you can follow these steps:
- Copy the war file to the webapps directory of Tomcat. You can either copy the war file directly to the webapps directory, or upload the war file through Tomcat’s management interface.
- Start the Tomcat server. You can start the Tomcat server either through the command line or by running a startup script.
- Tomcat will automatically unpack the WAR file and deploy it as a standalone application.
- Access the deployed application by entering “http://localhost:8080/deployed_application_name” in your browser.
Following these steps will allow you to successfully deploy and run a war file on the Tomcat server.
