1.下載tomcat7並配置好JAVA_HOME,tomcat7\webapps目錄除了manager之外,其它都可以刪除(刪除沒用的,可加速tomcat的啟動).

2.tomcat7\conf\tomcat-users.xml加入

<role rolename="manager-gui"/>
<role rolename="manager-script"/>
<user username="username" password="password" roles="manager-gui,manager-script"/>

當然使用者名稱和密碼可以不一樣,但沒有manager-gui就不能通過瀏覽器去訪問manage應用,沒有manager-script就不能通過manage去上傳war包達到部署的目的.

3.在web專案的pom.xml的一個應用例子(注:url也必須有/text,否則也上傳不了war包)

4.tomcat7要先啟動,在命令列轉到專案目錄下輸入d:\maven3\bin\mvn tomcat7:deploy看結果.(注:不是tomcat:deploy)

在eclipse配置好外部的maven,在eclipse的run configurations建一個Maven Build:Name隨便起一個名字(如tomcat7_redeploy),Base directory選專案目錄${workspace_loc:/testweb},goals填tomcat7:deploy.或tomcat7:redeploy

deploy:如果已經部署過,再deploy就會失敗.去tomcat7的webapps刪除已經部署過的就行了.

redeploy:即使沒部署過也不會失敗.不知道build的速度會不會明顯減慢??

至於選deploy還是redeploy,自己看著辦吧!

直至今天(2013-11-11)還沒看到有tomcat8-maven-plugin,但tomcat7-maven-plugin的2.2版已經相容tomcat8.

只到2.2:https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/maven-staging-group/org/apache/tomcat/maven/

snapshots看到有2.3:https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/snapshots/org/apache/tomcat/maven/
