There are a number of ways to do it, and they are all covered in the Tomcat documentation.

Easiest route is to drop the war file in the webapps folder.

i'm not able to drop my .war file in webapps folder. [the webapps in my private instance ]

[Bear Bibeault]

Why not? Or is it a secret?

[Arun Giridharan]

it's not allowing, it says your not a valid user.

[Bear Bibeault]

Well that sounds like a file permission issue you'll need to fix.

Check and see if the tomcat manager webapp is available - and that you have a userid/password set up that allows you to access it.

The Tomcat manager can upload a WAR and deploy it.

Like Bear says, there are a number of ways to deploy, so it's a matter of finding one that works for you.
