Is there a better way to deploy the war files?
- Currently, I delete the old war file in the \webapps
- Copy and paste the new war file in the \webapps directory
- At times, I have to restart the service because it takes a while to
load the new war after it has pasted in directory.
Note: I added a string in the server.xml file to automatically unpack the war
files:
<Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true">
I know we deploy it through the Tomcat Manager by doing the following:
- Log on to Tomcat Manager
- Click un-deploy
- Copy the new war file in the \webapps directory
- Click redeploy
Is the tomcat manager method the preferred method and are the steps correct?
