tomcat-maven-plugin 403 error

Question

When I use mvn tomcat:deploy of tomcat-maven-plugin there is a 403 error:

Failed to execute goal org.codehaus.mojo:tomcat-maven-plugin:1.0:deploy (default-cli) on pr

Answer 1

This solution is for "Apache" Tomcat7 plugin: As it is already mentioned before you need to add "/text" to the end of the url

org.apache.tomcat.maven
tomcat7-maven-plugin
2.2

    8080
    /deployPath
    http://localhost:8080/manager/text
    TomcatServer

Configure you "settings.xml" which is located inside .m2 folder

    
        TomcatServer
        script-admin
        password
    

Since you use Tomcat 7, the MOST important thing is that you should create a different user for "manager-script" role, as it is mentioned in the documentation!
