/usr/share/tomcat6/bin

What is the Problem

[he yx]

make sure server.xml is in your $TOMCAT_HOME/conf
use startup.sh to start your tomcat

[Arun Giridharan]

The main cause of my problem was i didn't set my manager role .

Now how to generate .war file and deploy . ???

[he yx]

open $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/tomcat-users.xml and set :
<tomcat-users>
<role rolename="manager"/>
<role rolename="admin"/>
<user username="tomcat" password="tomcat" roles="admin,manager"/>
</tomcat-users>

To start/stop the server locally you don't have to set the Manager role as you can directly run the appropriate scripts.

If you are familiar with Ant you can use the WAR Task to generate the WAR file and then just drop that in to the webapps directory of the Tomcat installation.

i don't know how to generate .war file (days back when i was using eclipse simple Ant-build is used to generate .war file and deploy ) , i don't know how to do without eclipse and Ant-build or Maven, can you tell how to do it,what is the command to do .

i tried jar cvf /home/jayakannan/Desktop/beerV1.war *

Long, long ago when mammals were still scurrying under the feet of the dinosaurs, I used to use DOS batch command files to build WARs. But then Ant and Maven came out and I gave that up. The task of assembling a WAR is just more complicated than it's worth doing batch scripts for, much less typing in commands straight from the command line.

Yes, you can build a WAR using the JAR command. In fact, you can even use the ZIP command, but that just means more work you have to do yourself that something else could do for you. So I do recommend Ant or Maven.

Still, what you're doing is theoretically correct. It will work as long as the working directory you're in is structured like a WAR must be structured.

Wow, that's nice.
