Java Reference
In-Depth Information
The steps necessary to package the application for deployment are the following:
1.
Copy the WAR file under the Web application root of the servlet container.
2.
When installing the WAR file, optionally we can add a new context (in order for the
servlet container to properly recognize our application) to the
server.xml
file (located at
<TOMCAT_HOME>/conf/server.xml
). This is not necessary if the application is placed in
the
Webapps
directory and uses standard defaults. We will skip this step, assuming the
standard situation.
3.
Having done so, it is enough to launch the servlet container, and test the servlet using an
URL compliant with that described in Listing 5.12.
