netbeans-6.9

im having trouble deploying a war file on tomcat.

i have written a webapp in netbeans on my windows machine. it all runs fine. what i want to do is deploy the application on my linux computer that is acting as my server. once the application is built, i copy the war file from the dist folder in my project directory onto a pendrive. i then copy this onto the desktop of my linux computer.

i then start tomcat and using the application manager i browse the war file to deploy, then click deploy. i get a message at the top of the browser saying 'OK'. yet if i look at my tomcat output in the terminal window i have the following error:

4/01/2011 5:09:07 PM org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig deployWAR

Which folder under the Tomcat server installation should you deploy your .WAR file to?

Perhaps the simplest way to deploy a WAR file to Tomcat is to copy the file to Tomcat's webapps directory. Copy and paste WAR files into Tomcat's webapps directory to deploy them. Tomcat monitors this webapps directory for changes, and if it finds a new file there, it will attempt to deploy it.

Can EAR file be deployed on Tomcat?

ear. A WAR file is a specialized JAR file containing Web application components such as servlets, JSP files, HTML files, deployment descriptors, utility JAR files, etc. A WAR file can be deployed to a Web server such as Tomcat.

the war archive is corrupt or invalid.

check that the war generation procedure is not failing and that the war file is a valid zip file prior to copying to your pen drive etc.

if you're on windows you can do this by changing the file extension to .zip and opening with a zip program such as winzip or winrar.

if you're on another operating system you probably don't need to change the extension.

if the war is a valid zip it's probably being corrupted as a result of your transfer process ie going onto or from your pen drive.

It could be a file protection issue, which you can fix by issuing something like: chmod 755 webapp.war

it happened to me that my sftp would just slap a 700 on the file transferred, causing that error.
