I installed Tomcat using the Windows installer ages ago and it runs fine as a service on my development laptop. Now I’m mavenising my project and would like to use Cargo (or something similar) to deploy updated WARs onto the local Tomcat.
I can’t find any fully worked examples of a POM file containing the right XML to do this and am struggling with the partial examples on the Cargo site.
Does anyone have a POM they can post or know of an example in the wild they can link to?
FWIW the error I get is this – though I’ve tried many different combinations of parameters:
Cannot create configuration. There’s
no registered configuration for the
parameters (container [id =
[tomcat6x], type = [local]],
configuration type [existing]).
Actually there are no valid types
registered for this configuration.
Maybe you’ve made a mistake spelling
it?
I’m not even sure I know exactly what the error means by a “type” in the first place!
Update: I eventually found the m2eclipse WTP integration plugin, which frankly rocks!
Is there a reason to use just cargo?
You can try the maven tomcat plugin in order to deploy your wars to tomcat. See the instructions about configuration and deployment.
