i have tried using /text and /html from but that doesn't worked ,please help me to solve this

Answer 1

The following way works for me.

1. Please change your pom.xml to include

    <project> ... <build> <plugins> .... <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.tomcat.maven</groupId> <artifactId>tomcat7-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.1</version> <configuration> <url>http://localhost:8080/manager/text</url> <server>my-tomcat</server> <path>/myapp</path> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins> ... </build> ... </project> 

2. Make sure your Tomcat 7 server have the following lines on TOMCAT_HOME/conf/tomcat-users.xml :

    <!-- Role to manage WAR files via HTML /manager. The name should be as is! --> <role rolename="manager-gui"/> <!-- Role to manage WAR files via script like Maven. The name should be as is! --> <role rolename="manager-script"/> <!-- One user cannot have manager-gui and manager-script roles --> <user username="managerGui" password="managerPwd" roles="manager-gui"/> <user username="manager" password="managerPwd" roles="manager-script"/> 

3. Configure your USER_HOME/.m2/settings.xml to include the password.

    <settings> ... <servers> ... <server> <id>my-tomcat</id> <username>manager</username> <password>managerPwd</password> </server> </servers> </settings> 

4. Deploy using mvn tomcat7:redeploy

Answer 2

First you must be aware of the move of the tomcat-maven-plugin to the apache software foundation Second you shouldn't put configuration stuff into maven/conf/settings.xml you should use the users settings.xml file HOME/.m2/settings.xml instead.

Apart from the above you should use the following URL for accessing Tomcat:

http://localhost:8080/manager/html

Answer 3

In my case solution worked. I did one petty mistake of not starting Apache Tomcat Server.

Apart from this, make user that you do appropriate entry in maven/conf/setting.xml within tag:-

<server>
    <id>TomcatServer</id>
    <username>admin</username>
    <password>password</password>
</server>

In Apache Tomcat 7 tomcat-users.xml, following line should be added within

<tomcat-users>

<role rolename="manager-gui"/>
    <role rolename="manager-script"/>
     <role rolename="manager-script"/>
      <role rolename="manager-jmx"/>
      <role rolename="manager-status"/>
      <role rolename="admin-gui"/>
      <role rolename="admin-script"/>
    <user username="admin" password="password" roles="standard,manager,admin,manager-gui,manager-script,tomcat" /> 

In Pom.xml

 <plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.tomcat.maven</groupId>
    <artifactId>tomcat7-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.2</version>
    <configuration>
        <url>http://localhost:8888/manager/text</url>
        <server>TomcatServer</server>
        <path>$ReplaceWithWarFileName$</path>
        <update>true</update>
        <username>admin</username>
        <password>password</password>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

Answer 4

1. A solution that worked for me was in the Run options :

   1_ Maven Install

   2_ Maven Build

Answer 5

A solution which worked in my case is:

1. Go to the module having Main class.
2. Right click on pom.xml under this module.
3. Select "Run Maven" -> "UpdateSnapshots"
