  • 0

I have a web application (WAR file). When I deploy it through Eclipse 3.5 using the WTP tools, I am able to start the Tomcat server from within Eclipse and view all the pages of the application. However I don’t see my WAR file inside the webapps folder of Tomcat home directory (or for that matter its exploded format). I was under the impression that Tomcat reads all web applications under its webapps folder. How does Tomcat read my application in this case? I am using Tomcat 5.5.17 as my application server.

    It’s just all definied in the context.xml which Eclipse has given to Tomcat. If you want to configure this behaviour, then doubleclick the Tomcat instance in the servers view and check the Server locations section. To achieve what you initially want/expected, you need to select Use Tomcat installation and if necessary also specify the Deploy path.
