Chapter 7.3 Deploying Web Applications on a running Tomcat server

You can easily deploy web applications to a running Tomcat server.

If the Host autodeploy attribute holds true, the Host attempts to deploy and update web applications dynamically.

A running Tomcat and the autodeploy set to “true” permit you to perform the following:

• Deploy .WAR files that are copied into the Host appBase.

• Deploy exploded web applications that are copied into the Host appBase.

• Re-deploy a web application that has been deployed from a .WAR.

• Re-deploy a web application if the /WEB-INF/web.xml file is updated.

• Re-deploy a web application if a Context Descriptor file is updated.

• Re-deploy a web application if a Context Descriptor file is added to the $CATALINA_HOME/conf/[enginename]/[hostname]/ directory.

• Undeploy a web application if its document base (docBase) is deleted.
