I was wondering what would be the best practice to deploy a maven packaged WAR file to tomcat.
Using maven release plugin I get a versioned war file for my project
eg: myservice-1.0.0.war

I would like to deploy it to tomcat so that I can access it as follows
eg: http://localhost:8080/myservice

By default tomcat explodes the war file as a directory with a name myservice-1.0.0 under CATALINA_HOME/webapps. But I want to to explode the war as a directory with a name myservice for the reasons mentioned above.

I know I can simply rename myservice-1.0.0.war >> myservice.war and then deploy it in Tomcat.

I wanted to find out what others do?

    I would do it by mentioning myservice as artifactId and final name and using maven cargo plugin to deploy to tomcat.
