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 Server from MuleSoft.
