Deploying Spring MVC Application
There are two different ways to easily deploy the Spring MVC app to our Local Tomcat server.
Approach 1:
- Open the target folder and copy the generated war file.
- Go to the tomcat installation folder and paste it into the “/webapp/” folder.
- After that just start the tomcat server using bin/startup.bat or bin/startup.sh based on your system.
- On starting the server, it will automatically take the war file and deploy it in the webapp folder.
- To view the output, open the browser and go to http://localhost:8080/context_path/hello,
- where context_path is the project name.
Approach 2:
- Start your tomcat server and login to the Tomcat manager GUI by opening http://localhost in your browser.
- In the manager app, at the bottom Deploy area, select the file and click on the deploy button.
- Verify whether the app is deployed by visiting the context_path of the app and the hello.jsp page.
