Question

I am using Maven 3 for build Dashboard project

After building my web application i get my war file as Dashboard-0.0.1.war
and deployed this war in my tomcat successfully. well it went fine

but to launch my application i need to hit the URL as

http://localhost:8080/Dashboard-0.0.1

but i need use the URL as follows

http://localhost:8080/Dashboard

without using version number .,

Application is built on GWT and Java servlet

Kindly help out to overcome this problem guys…

Answer 1

You can either specify in your pom the final name of the war with

...
<build>
    <finalName>${project.artifactId}</finalName>
</build>
...

or you can set the context name in Tomcat without changing the filename of the war like this:

...
<Context path="/Dashboard" docBase="webapps/Dashboard-0.0.1.war" />  
...
