Deploy to Tomcat

Question

How can I deploy a war file to Tomcat in exactly the same way Eclipse deploys to Tomcat, if I configured Tomcat in Eclipse?

Reason for asking is that when I deploy with Eclipse everything works fine (databse connection, log4j ect). But when I manually deploy the corresponding war file to the same Tomcat installation, none of my external resources like database connection, logging to files work!

Answer 1

You can add the external jars to $CATALINA_BASE/lib Read here

Common — This class loader contains additional classes that are made visible to both Tomcat internal classes and to all web applications
