java-tomcat-maven-example

This is an example ready-to-deploy java web application built for Tomcat using Maven and webapp-runner.

Running Locally

(need maven and java installed)

mvn package
java -jar target/dependency/webapp-runner.jar target/*.war

The application will be available on http://localhost:8080.

How This Was Built

1. Generate the project using a Maven archetype:

   mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-webapp
   

2. Add the webapp-runner plugin into the pom.xml:

   <build>
     <!-- ... -->
     <plugins>
       <!-- ... -->
       <plugin>
         <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
         <artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
         <version>2.3</version>
         <executions>
           <execution>
             <phase>package</phase>
             <goals><goal>copy</goal></goals>
             <configuration>
               <artifactItems>
                 <artifactItem>
                   <groupId>com.github.jsimone</groupId>
                   <artifactId>webapp-runner</artifactId>
                   <version>8.5.11.3</version>
                   <destFileName>webapp-runner.jar</destFileName>
                 </artifactItem>
               </artifactItems>
             </configuration>
           </execution>
         </executions>
       </plugin>
     </plugins>
   </build>
