How do I deploy my web application in Tomcat?

With the default configuration, you can simply copy your WAR file or unpacked webapp directory into Tomcat’s

webapps

directory while Tomcat is running. Within several seconds, Tomcat detects it and deploys the webapp. You can then access it by adding the webapp name (the name of the WAR file or the unpacked directory) to the Tomcat URL, such as

http://localhost:8080/myWebApp

if your webapp name is myWebapp.

Tomcat provides several more deployment methods, each with different pros and cons. For detailed descriptions of each of Tomcat's supported deployment methods, see Chapter 3, “Deploying Servlet and JSP Web Applications in Tomcat,” in the book

Tomcat: The Definitive Guide

, 2nd Edition (O'Reilly)

However, the simplest and most powerful way to deploy webapps to multiple servers is to use

Tcat

from MuleSoft.



Tcat - Enterprise Tomcat Server

Tcat makes Apache Tomcat enterprise-ready. It provides centralized management and monitoring across all your Tomcat Servers. Built atop 100% Apache Tomcat, it provides all the enterprise capabilities you need for production deployment with zero rip and replace.
