How to deploy created .jar file in Apache Tomcat server in Eclipse IDE?

Question

I\'m stuck into the process of deploying created .jar files in Eclipse.

Eclipse is at location: E:\\eclipse

Web project is at: E:\\Runtime

Answer 1

Apache tomcat is a web container you cannot deploy a jar in tomcat server. If you created a web application then export your application as war file and put it in tomcat webapp directory, start the server and your war will be deployed.

if you have lots of jars then still you need to bundle them as war

Answer 2

So you have it running successfully within eclipse? But now you want to deploy this tested web app?

Then

1. Right click on your Java Project and select Export.

2. Expand the Web node and select WAR file.

This exports the WEB-INF and related files that tomcat needs.
