Locations for Files in Custom Web Applications

Autodeploy Directories

These directories are where you drop WAR files or directories containing Web applications. Once you restart the server, you automatically get a custom Web application whose URL prefix matches the main name of the WAR file (minus the.war extension) or the directory name. For lots more control over Web application deployment, see Section 4.1 (Registering Web Applications).

• Tomcat.

  install_dir/webapps

• JRun. (No autodeployment prior to version 4)

  install_dir/servers/default

• ServletExec.

  install_dir/webapps/default
