Apache CXF and Tomcat Server - Web Services with Java - page 225

5.4 Deploy the Service
When you install Tomcat 7, the Tomcat server home directory has the following directories:

• bin

• conf

• lib

• logs

• temp

• webapps

• work

We are most interested in the bin and the webapps directories for deploying and publishing
our Web Services. To run Tomcat, go to the bin directory and run startup.cmd (WINDOWS) or
startup.sh (UNIX).

To deploy the Web application that contains the sample Web Services, copy the cxf-
web.war to the webapps directory. You need not restart the Tomcat server each time you
deploy the Web application.
