Netbeans 12.1 deploys WAR package in Project folder instead Tomcat webapps folder

I have a web project that I'm developing in NetBeans 12.1 and I'm using Tomcat 9.0.38 as the webserver.
When I click the Build button or the Run Button, Netbeans compiles and builds the WAR package but instead of deploying it in the Tomcat's webapps folder in {CATALINA_HOME}/webapps/ it deploys the WAR file and extracts it in the NetBeans project folder MyProject/target/
After all this, Netbeans creates a config file in tomcat's config folder {CATALINA_HOME}/conf/Catalina/localhost/ called MyProject.xml that contains the path to the extracted war package in the project folder and the webapp works fine, but I don't want this deployment way.
Why is this happening?
I want to deploy directly from NetBeans to the Tomcat webapps folder. Do I have the wrong configuration?

create war file in tomcat and create web-inf

I have a java project that use tomcat. when I run project in idea with tomcat(version 6)my project run in idea and in tomcat not create web inf file for my project and war file. why?
thanks

It should be a web project not java project and Tomcat is not responsible for creating web-inf folder. It is created when you first defined the project. Also are you able to see your war after building ? Does it launch the browser when you say running in Tomcat?

tomcat is not autodeploying my .war file

i hope this is no duplicate. I allready searched for an answer, but did not find anything that fits.
I have a .war file called "app.war" and put it into the webapps folder of my tomcat. When i start tomcat, the .war file should actually be deployed, but it does not.
In my server.xml unpackWARs and autoDeploy is set to true. The tomcat service in the system is installed.
Does the content of the war file needs to have a special structure? I have the following structure:
I create the .war file with gradle by using "gradle build". My project structure is a typical maven java webapp structure.
Is there maybe anything missing in the war file? I have no more idea why the war file is not being deployed. What is also strange to me, is that when i unzip the war file in the webapps folder and restart my tomcat, the app won't be found by the tomcat.

Did you checked the permission of the war file and the webapps folder? Commonly tomcat is started by a user different to root , so , If you copied the file as root, the tomcat process never can access it .

Deploying WAR FILE in Microsoft Azure Web App

I have created a Microsoft azure web app and configured java version 8 and tomcat latest available. As per their documentation , I have uploaded my WAR file to d:\home\site\wwwroot\webapps\ROOT .

wen iam trying to access, giving me a 404 error.Please help me to fix this

as documentation say :
you can upload your application by placing your WAR in the webapps folder.
in tomcat's webapp folder you copy war files, tomcat detects the presence of one of those files and unzip it to a folder corresponding to the name you chose for your file, so if you copy toto.war to
$TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/
after tomcat deployed your war file the folder will look like
$TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/toto.war
$TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/toto (folder being the unzipped version of your file)
ROOT folder is just a special case of that for the webapplication that is served without using a context.

Deploying a Dynamic Web Project with Tomcat

I currently have a working servlet created in Eclipse. When running it from the Tomcat plugin, everything works, and my app shows up at localhost:8080/project_name/. However, when I package the project into a .war file and place it in the /webapps directory of Tomcat and start the server, the servlet cannot be accessed. In Terminal, I can see Tomcat loading my project, and a temporary folder of the unarchived project is also created in /webapps. However, I simply cannot access my servlet.
Note:
I'm using Tomcat 7 and I don't have a web.xml file in my project.

How are you creating the war file? Check if your war files contain jar files under WEB-INF/lib folder and if the class files are not missing. You can easily verify it under tomcat/webapps/[project name] folder.
