How to Deploy a War File in Tomcat 7

How to deploy a war file in Tomcat 7

You can access your application from: http://localhost:8080/sample

Deploying or redeploying of war files is automatic by default - after copying/overwriting the file sample.war, check your webapps folder for an extracted folder sample.

If it doesn't open properly, check the log files (e.g. tomcat/logs/catalina.out) for problems with deployment.

How to upload a WAR file on Tomcat 7 cookbook by Chef?

The simple way to do is is to use the service resource to stop Tomcat, use the bash resource or a file resource to copy the WAR file, and then use the service resource to start Tomcat again.

That cookbook you are trying to use doesn't do WAR file deployment. But I found this one - https://github.com/poise/application_java - that may do the job.

And for what it is worth, I think you could find a better Tomcat installation cookbook too. For a start, there is a "tomcat" recipe on the Opscode Community Cookbooks site that can handle Tomcat 7.

(Hint: don't just use the first cookbook you find with Google. Do a Github search, and try to assess the cookbooks functionality and quality)

Can't deploy Spring-Boot WAR file on External Tomcat 7

Deploy to Tomcat 8 or later

Your error says the interface HttpSessionIdListener cannot be found.

Looking at the Javadoc for that interface tells us it was added in Servlet 3.1 specification.

Now look at the Which version? page on the Tomcat site. There we see that Tomcat 7 supports Servlet 3.0. For Servlet 3.1, you need Tomcat 8 or later.

Be aware that Tomcat 8.0.x has been superseded by Tomcat 8.5.x.
