Deployment of war file on Tomcat

Question

Is there a way to deploy a given war file on Tomcat server? I want to do this without using the web interface.

Answer 1

The Tomcat Client Deployer Package looks to be what you need to deploy to a remote server from the command line. From the page:

This is a package which can be used to validate, compile, compress to .WAR, and deploy web applications to production or development Tomcat servers. It should be noted that this feature uses the Tomcat Manager and as such the target Tomcat server should be running.
