i have a java web application that i want to deploy locally.
how am i supposed to do that without running it through netbeans?
do i have anything to download? does xampp or wampserver can do that?
i am using apache tomcat server. and how can i change the url from ipaddress:8084/mywebapp to mywebapp only. or the browser needs the ip and port to access the web app.
when i installed netbeans it has apache tomcat server already can i use that as my host even not running netbeans?
see http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/deployer-howto.html
1- install apache tomcat (http://tomcat.apache.org/download-70.cgi).
2- may be you need to change windows path (for connection between JVM and web server).
3- run apache tomcat(..\Apache Tomcat 7.x.xx\bin\tomcatx.exe).
3- copy and pase '..\dist\mywebapp.war' to Apache Tomcat 7.x.xx\webapp folder)
if web server (if work truly) move this file to work dir.

I am using Tomcat server for my Java application & MySQL as the back end. Right now I am running it through local server(LAN). Now I want to shift my application to the web and run as a web application. How can I do this?
I think there's no difference with tomcat 7,just put up you project's war file to the "webapps" directory，then set up the tomcat server.
I have created a web application using Eclipse.
While creating the project I have added Tomcat server. Then I ran my application and it worked.
Afterwards I installed Apache Tomcat service by executing the service.bat file through the command line and in the properties I have set startup type to automatic.
Now I can see the Tomcat in services tab but when I tried to access my web page by using my IP address (http://192.168.x.x:8080/myroom/) I am unable to access it.
I am getting the following error:
http:status:404 error - The requested resource is not available
But when I stop the service in task manager, open Eclipse and run my application on server I'm able to access my web page.
Why am I unable to access my web page by starting the service in task manager and then by using IP address?
Eclipse uses a different deployment directory.
You have to deploy your web application in Tomcat server. Just copy your .war file to TOMCAT_HOME/webapps.
Your eclipse tomcat differs from standalone one in web app folder location
When running from eclipse it is .workspace/eclipse wstd core etc... , when running from standalone usually it is somewhere on Tomcat folder
I built my java RESTful application in Eclipse with Jersey and a couple other libraries. My question is, how do I deploy this to a Tomcat server? Do I export it as a WAR file? Do I need to deploy the libraries I used as well or are they packaged in the WAR file?
The server is running on an ubuntu machine which I can access over ssh. I got the server running with "apt-get install tomcat7". Which folder should I put it in? Is any configuration needed? What should I do with the web.xml file?
Thanks in advance.
You usually wouldn't use Apache to directly serve a Jersey web application as Apache is not a Java application server. It would be served from a Java server such as Tomcat instead. If you wish to serve your Jersey application as if it was located on your Apache server, you would still have a Tomcat server running and set up a reverse proxy to your Tomcat server. I personally use a server such as Wildfly or TomEE which implements the full JavaEE profile and means you are less likely to run into errors. Nearly all Java application servers also have the capability of serving static content so unless you specifically need Apache features, you do not need to go to the trouble of also running Apache.
With each one of these servers you would need the .WAR file and deploy it, either through the appropriate maven plugin, the web manager or placing the .WAR into the appropriate directory.
Dependencies for a .WAR specified in the 'compile' scope will be included as part of the .WAR file and those in the 'provided' scope will not be included (for when your web server has these included)
As the question explains I want to deploy a Java servlet based application which is developed on a local server (Apache Tomcat 6.0). I have the IP address, Host name for the new virtual server. I want to know, if it will be just a normal site migration process where I'll have to install Tomcat on the new server and configure the server, web XML files or is there a bit more.
As I have not done Tomcat config before. Any Help would be great
Is there a step-by-step documentation to perform this
Thanks
Download and install Java
Download Tomcat http://tomcat.apache.org/download-70.cgi
Read http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/setup.html
Build your webapp into a war file with your build scripts
Copy the war file into webapps directory under your tomcat installation directory. More details can be found http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/deployer-howto.html
I find it best to create a script that deploys my webapp from running my build script. And scp and ssh task comes in handy for installing it quickly. There are probably other maven tasks that might work for you.
I wrote a small servlet and jsp project on eclipse and tomcat 5.5, but I don't know with works I do for make that a real site on a real host. Should I war them or I should upload project on host? My host should have which properties? I really don't now how to start?
I would recommend packaging them in a war and deploying it out to the remote tomcat server. Its not a good idea to deploy an unpackaged project directly to the server unless your debugging or testing. Once you have a finished project ready to deploy package it to a war. I typically deploy to server using the tomcat manager page. Just browse for the war, click the upload button and it should start right up. On my local machine this is the url that I use to upload to the server http://localhost:8080/manager. The server itself should have the same properties and settings that you are using in your eclipse workspace, and I would highly recommend that it be the same version as well. The war can also be dropped into a directory on the remote host and Tomcat will load this on startup, this location will vary depending on the host.
