How to Deploye WAR in Tomcat?

[Natalie Kopple]

Hello, I have built a WAR called abc.war. My newly installed Tomcat works because I have tested http://localhost:8080/.

I dropped the abc.war in the C:\apache-tomcat-7.0.6\webapps directory.

And I started the Tomcat.

I entered http://localhost:8080/abc

and I got HTTP Status 404. Would you advise me what is going on? Apparently, I did something wrong. Thank you.

Set up access to the Tomcat manager app and it will tell you whether the web app was loaded or not. Also, is there any info in the logs?

It is a blank in the log.

Where do I find instruction to set up access to the Tomcat manager app ? Thanks

It's in the Tomcat docs, and has been discussed numerous times in this forum. Search for tomcat-users.xml.
