Correct way to deploy WAR files in docker image

Question

What is the docker way to deploy java projects in a docker container?

Do I copy the war into webapps:

FROM jetty:9.2.10
MAINTAINER Me \"me@me.com\"
A         


        

Answer 1

This is how I do it:

FROM tomcat:8.0
MAINTAINER David Ford 
ENV DB_HOST mySqlServer
ENV DB_USER joeBlow
ENV DB_PASSWORD bla bla bla
EXPOSE 8080
RUN rm -fr /usr/local/tomcat/webapps/ROOT
COPY target/webapp /usr/local/tomcat/webapps/ROOT

On my todo list: separate out the WEB_INF/lib dir into its own container.
