Maven plugin for Tomcat 9

Question

I didn\'t find any tomcat-maven-plugin other than tomcat7-maven-plugin. Can I use it with apache-tomcat-9.0.0.M15?

Answer 1

You can use the plugin to deploy to a separately running tomcat 9.

The run goals won't work, but the deploy goals will.

    org.apache.tomcat.maven
    tomcat7-maven-plugin
    2.2
    
        http://localhost:8080/manager/text
        TomcatServer
        /myapp
    

Maven goals:

mvn tomcat7:deploy
mvn tomcat7:undeploy
mvn tomcat7:redeploy

Note: Don't forget to add tomcat user in tomcat-users.xml and maven settings.xml

tomcat-user.xml

manager-script role enables applications i.e., maven, to deploy jar/war to application server.

Maven file settings.xml

    
        
            TomcatServer
            admin
            password
