Tomcat 8 integration with Maven

Question

It sounds like Eclipse (Kepler) does not have a proper plugin for Tomcat 8. I want to deploy my .war into Tomcat 8 and run it by Maven pom.xml file. Can anyone provide me st

Answer 1

Example of how to run your war with cargo & tomcat8

mvn clean verify org.codehaus.cargo:cargo-maven2-plugin:run -Dcargo.maven.containerId=tomcat8x -Dcargo.maven.containerUrl=http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/tomcat/tomcat/8.5.9/tomcat-8.5.9.zip

If you want to add it to your pom

  org.codehaus.cargo
  cargo-maven2-plugin
  ${cargo.version}
  
    
      tomcat8x
      
          http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/tomcat/tomcat/8.5.9/tomcat-8.5.9.zip
      
    
  

Then to run you war (if your pom is a war)

mvn cargo:run

To run with debug (memory options not necessary)

  org.codehaus.cargo
  cargo-maven2-plugin
  ${cargo.version}
  
    
      tomcat8x
      
          http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/tomcat/tomcat/8.5.9/tomcat-8.5.9.zip
      
    
    
      
        
        -Xmx2048m -Xms512m
        -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=8000
      
    
  

Then you need to create a remote debug configuration in your IDE on port 8000 (port by default if nothing specified)
