Several common ways to deploy Tomcat projects [tested]

1 / Copy the web project files directly to the webapps directory

This is the most commonly used method. Tomcat's Webapps directory is Tomcat's default application directory. When the server starts, all applications in this directory will be loaded. If you want to change this default directory, you can modify the appBase value in the Host tag in the server.xml file under conf.

This method is actually the same as deploying a project in an IDE development environment.

The access path using this method is http://localhost:8080/webname

2/ Modify the Server.xml file

Find the Host tag in the server.xml file under conf and add the following code to it:

<Context path="/jfinal_demo" docBase="F:workjfinal_demoWebRoot" reloadable ="true" debug="0" privileged="true">
</Context>

• path: is the root address when accessing, indicating the access path, which can be customized. For example, in the above example, the address to access the application is as follows: http://localhost:8080/jfinal_demo;
• docbase: indicates the path of the application. docBase can use an absolute path or a relative path. The relative path is relative to webapps.
• reloadable: Indicates that the class package can be automatically loaded in the classes and lib folders at runtime. This property is usually set to true during the development phase to facilitate development; it should be set to false during the release phase to increase the access speed of the application;

For other properties, see the relevant documentation.

3 / Add the xml configuration file in the confCatalinalocalhost directory

Create a new file named jfinal_demo.xml and configure the file content as follows:

 <Context path="/jfinal_demo" docBase="F:workjfinal_demoWebRoot" reloadable ="true" debug="0" privileged="true"> 
 </Context>

The Catalinalocalhost directory does not exist by default when Tomcat is downloaded. It will be created automatically when it is started for the first time, or it can be created manually.

The path attribute can be removed from the configuration, because the root path when accessing the project depends only on the name of the XML file. For example, in the above example, the address to access the application is as follows: http://localhost:8080/jfinal_demo;

The third method is recommended because it does not require modifying the default configuration of Tomcat, is the least invasive to Tomcat, and if you want to cancel the deployment, you can directly delete the XML configuration file.

The above methods have been tested by myself. In addition, there is also the Tomcat hot deployment method.
