How to add another web-app to tomcat

 

1. Copy the .war file to /tomcat/wars folder (i.e /tomcat/wars)
2. In tomcat/apps create a new folder to where the war will be opened : **tomcat/apps/myapps
   **
3. In tomcat/conf/server.xml , add the reference to the new project :

<Host name=”myapp.mydomain.com” appBase=”tomcat/apps/myapps”
                       unpackWARs=”true” autoDeploy=”true”>

1. Create a folder in tomcat/conf/Catalina/ called “myapp.mydomain.com” (this is how the tomcat will know who to relate it to)
2. In /conf/Catalina/myapp.mydomain.com add a context.xml file - this file will include all the context variable for your app. You also need to define in it the path to your app as the first object:
   <Context path=/MyApp” reloadable=”true”>

Your war will be opened totomcat/apps/myapps/MyApp . Notice that letters case are crucial!

Start tomcat.

To reach you app , use http://myapp.mydomain.com/MyApp/{your strut/filter path}
