如何将Java项目部署到Tomcat

Question

I have downloaded a sample extjs+mysql+spring web project ( link ) with a java backend that I'd like to set up locally on my machine. I have installed Tomcat server, and MySQL DB but it's my first time ever with a java-based web application and I have troubles setting it up. Does it require any modifications ? I thought that .jsp files should be included there, but I can only see .java sources. Do I need to build it before it's ready for deployment ? Any help appreciated.

Answer 1

This is an Eclipse project so you'd need to run it from within Eclipse.

• Download Eclipse
• Open the project in it
• Define a Tomcat container in your Servers tab
• Drag and drop the project onto the newly defined Tomcat
• Run it

Answer 2

if your are using eclipse IDE for development, create a project in eclipse, run as "run on server" , and set the running server (eg TOMCAT 7). and thats it,, make sure, you correctly setup spring project in IDE with all needed jar files .
