How to auto deploy on remote tomcat by maven?

Question

I'd like to deploy a war project on a remote tomcat server on maven build. There seems to be a plugin tomcat-maven-plugin that is capable of this.

But I also have to start a batch script prior to deployment that stops some processes and shuts the tomcat server down safely. Is it also possible to execute such a remote script by maven just before the deployment?

You need to use Maven antrun plugin. Here is similar thread on this.http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4668839/maven-and-exec-forking-a-process hope it helps — Devesh, Jun 18 '14 at 09:05

By default, when you push a new Jar using the remote deployment feature of Tomcat, it will gracefully restart your container.

If you need to do more than that, this is probably not a solution for you.

When you say Batch script... does it means you are deploying on a Windows server?

I would look at stuff like http://octopusdeploy.com/ then. Trying to embed a Jar/Tomcat into a NuGet package. But Windows is such a Diva for automation. Sorry. – Aurélien Thieriot Jun 18 '14 at 09:30
