How to deploy war file to tomcat using command prompt?

Question

I have created a war file and put into tomcat/webapps. How to deploy a war file to tomcat using command prompt?

Answer 1

You could use wget or curl to deploy an app from command line.

With wget:

wget --http-user=tomcat --http-password=tomcat "http://localhost:8080/manager/text/deploy?war=file:/some/path/SomeWar.war&path=/SomeWar" -O -

But in my case with wget I received this error: "Failed to deploy application at context path ..."

So I solved using curl:

curl -v -u user:password -T app.war 'http://tomcathost/manager/text/deploy?path=/my-app-path&update=true'
