Tomcat 7: Connection reset by peer or Software caused connection abort

Question

I have a problem when I\'m trying to deploy Java-application.

Cannot invoke Tomcat manager: Connection reset by peer: socket write error

<

Answer 1

In my case settings looked ok, but I already had the same webapp uploaded to tomcat and hadn't specified

<update>true</update>

in tomcat plugin in pom.xml

Answer 2

Users with the manager-gui role should not be granted either the manager-script or manager-jmx roles.

so,user admin should remove the role "manager-gui"

Answer 3

mvn tomcat7:redeploy

try this as documentation suggests:

(Alias for the deploy goal with its update parameter set to true.)

Answer 4

I added

<server>
    <id>tomcat7</id>
    <username>admin</username>
    <password>admin</password>
</server> 

in user/.m2/settings.xml

Also I didn't change pom.xml, tomcat-users.xml and Maven/conf/settings.xml and now all works fine.

Answer 5

        <plugin>
            <!-- tomcat deploy plugin -->
            <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
            <artifactId>tomcat-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <configuration>
                <url>http://localhost:8080/manager/text</url>
                <server>TomcatServer</server>
                <username>XXXX</username>
                <password>XXXX</password>
                <path>/XXXX</path>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>

This works for me :)

Environment -> Windowd 8.1 + Maven 3 + Tomcat 8.1.15 + JDK 1.8 Also, I had to use tomcat:redeploy

ALso, update your maven settings via -> Preferences->Maven->User Settings to point to your maven settings.xml file. Add the values of the server in the maven settings.xml ( servers section and add the tomcat server details there). Use that here( for me the id is TomcatServer )
