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

You can also try this command-line script for managing tomcat called tomcat-manager. It requires Python, and talks to the manager application included with tomcat via HTTP. You can do stuff from a *nix shell like:

$ tomcat-manager --user=admin --password=newenglandclamchowder \
> http://localhost:8080/manager/ stop /myapp

and:

$ tomcat-manager --user=admin --password=newenglandclamchowder \
> http://localhost:8080/manager deploy /myapp ~/src/myapp/myapp.war
