I have a working web app that's creating the WAR file in the maven repository.

But, when I try to deploy, I get the unfriendly message: Deployment failed: repository element was not specified in the POM inside distributionManagement element or in -DaltDeploymentRepository=id::layout::url parameter -> [Help 1]

Things I've tried thus far haven't helped.

I followed the "mykong" tutorial, here: https://www.mkyong.com/maven/how-to-deploy-maven-based-war-file-to-tomcat/

My Intellij pom.xml file has this:


My maven settings.xml file has this:



Can someone please let me know what's missing so I can deploy (basically copy) the built war file to Tomcat using the Maven deploy goal?

Thanks in advance,

- mike

Thanks Kunte. See below.

Can you see why the deploy isn't working?

Is the command you're running mvn deploy?  I have to ask if this is really what you want to do, since you don't have any deploy information in your pom file.  Do you want to deploy your war file to a remote repository?  Because if you want to add your war file to a local repository, then mvn install is all you need.

Ah, I just saw this comment:

You want to launch Tomcat so that you can type http://localhost:8080/manager/serviceName in the address of a browser, right?  Try this command:

mvn tomcat7:run

or

mvn tomcat7:deploy

I'm trying to use the "Deploy" option in Maven in Intellij to simply copy the built WAR file to Tomcat. The Web site I included in my original posting uses the same technique.

Did you browse that site?

Does that help clarify?

Thanks,

- mike

If you run maven from Terminal the command is:



But if you want to run from the Maven in IntelliJ IDEA, go to the Plugins section and expand the tomcat7 plugin. You will see the deploy command there (tomcat7:deploy).

The deploy that you run right now is the Deploy task of the Maven life cycle which will deploy the artifact / war file into a maven repository.

Thanks Wayan,

Would you please be a little more specific what I need to do? All the other Maven goals are working fine in Intellij.

Where/how do I "expand the tomcat7 plugin"?

Thanks very much in advance,

When you click the Maven Project tool window on the sidebar you will see something like:

Anyway, because you are using spring boot for your project why not just use the embedded tomcat and run the project using `mvn spring-boot:run` instead?

OK, cool. I tried that goal and I think it's close.

However, it's trying to connect to Manager (which I can do in the browser with no problems: http://localhost:8080/manager), but the Tomcat deploy had these errors below. It says it's deploying to the right path.

FWIW, I'm really using Tomcat 8.5, not that that should make any difference, right?

------

[INFO] I/O exception (java.net.SocketException) caught when processing request: Broken pipe (Write failed)

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.tomcat.maven:tomcat7-maven-plugin:2.2:deploy (default-cli) on project aliasrest: Cannot invoke Tomcat manager: Broken pipe (Write failed) -> [Help 1]


Any idea why this would not work?

Error messages less than helpful.

Thanks,

- mike

I don't think Tomcat 8.5 is backwards compatible with 7.0 or even 8.0.

Try to change the tomcat7-maven-plugin configuration to the following:



And make sure that the maven configuration (settings.xml) is copied into the .m2 directory in your home folder.

I thought I read that people were successfully using the XML as Wayran shows below.

In any case, it's not working for me at all with Tomcat 8.5. I guess I'll just have to manually copy  the file to Tomcat.

(Still get broken pipe errors)

Thanks for the help,

I have just tried it on my machine, and it works. Have you copied the `settings.xml` into your `.m2` folder?

Here an example output when running the tomcat7:deploy.



One last thing, if you already have the same application deploy on the tomcat server you need to undeploy it first. If you deploy it again it can give your the connection error.

It looks like Intellij is using the maven 3 in a totally different folder.

In that settings.xml file, then, is where I specified the server settings.

Are you sure I still need to copy that same settings file  to .m2?

Thanks,

- mike

THANK YOU .... THANK YOU .... THANK YOU!!!

You were right. I needed to first undeploy the project in Tomcat, then it worked!

I should have been using tomcat7:redeploy. That works now too!!!

It's a bit confusing why we have to have the "text" portion of the http://localhost:8080/manager/text.

It's also a bit confusing why the "gear-icon" deploy doesn't do what I thought it did and I instead need to use the drop-down for tomcat7 in the Maven projects area.

But, hey, it works!

HAPPY!!!

Thanks again. You rock!

The `/manager/text/` is the URL address for the text interface. In the previous version it was just `/manager`.
