IntelliJ and Tomcat.. Howto..?

Question

Using Netbeans, I develop sites with Tomcat as the local server to manage it. In Netbeans it was \"Install, write hit Run and it works\" How do I pull the same thing off in

Answer 1

Here is step-by-step instruction for Tomcat configuration in IntellijIdea:

1) Create IntellijIdea project via WebApplication template. Idea should be Ultimate version, not Community edition

2) Go to Run-Edit configutaion and set up Tomcat location folder, so Idea will know about your tomcat server

3) Go to Deployment tab and select Artifact. Apply

4) In src folder put your servlet (you can try my example for testing purpose)

5) Go to web.xml file and link your's servlet like this

6) In web folder put your's .jsp files (for example hey.jsp)

7) Now you can start you app via IntellijIdea. Run(Shift+F10) and enjoy your app in browser:

- to jsp files: http://localhost:8080/hey.jsp (or index.jsp by default)

- to servlets via virtual link you set in web.xml : http://localhost:8080/st
