Web-server – Tomcat – deployed .war file does not show

Setup a server with the manager application and deploy the war there. The manager will show you what the URL path it deploys to. You can try that path on your real Tomcat server.

For test deployments, I leave the manager application installed so that problems like this are easier to resolve. The application could also be deploying, but having other problems causing it problems binding to its context.

Overly simple solution for any problem such as this:

Set your appBase for the host container to the path you want. (Make sure to turn off autodeploy, etc.)
