I want to remotely deploy my web app in Tomcat 7. I have added manager-gui, manager-text roles and added a user in conf/tomcat-users.xml. I checked this link out.
Deploy A New Application Remotely
Here they have mentioned that we must upload the war file as HTTP PUT request. How do I achieve this ? I know there are ways to remotely deploy using ANT and Maven. But they look slightly complex to me. Using <form> with method="put" did not work.
The HTML FORM will only support GET and POST. If you want to do this via a Web Interface I think JQuery is the simplest route. Taking the time to build it into your build and deploy process is probably the best solution though.

I am trying to develop my first web-application based on java-EE. This application should be deployed on WildFly application server. For That purpose, I made my inspiration from https://bitbucket.org/lassitercg/example/src.
I made some modifications on my Code.
I am developing this application using IntelliJ-Community. The Application was successfully deployed.
whenever I try to access the application using the following URL localhost:8080/startweb, I get the http status code 404. The code can be found unter this link https://github.com/amitakCsNew/startweb
Since I using Intellij Community edition, I am forced to deploy the application then set the breakpoint in the Controller of the application. The application seems to be succesfully deployed, but I am not jumping to the first breakpoint.
any Idea how I can solve this problem ?
Your webapp layout is wrong. Please refer to the standard Maven directories layout.
You need to move webapp directory to src/main. Then update pom.xml file reference to web.xml, then move META-INF from resources into webapp then fix your syntax errors in index.xhtml (the same h namespace is associated with 2 different URLs), then fix/implement your database, then add faces servlet in web.xml, add faces-config.xml, then your web app should be available at http://localhost:8080/startweb/.
Once you resolve all the problems and the controller code finally executes, you will be able to debug it from the IDE using Remote debug configuration.
If you are new to all of this, I'd suggest starting with something more simple, like a single JSP page and a single Java servlet.
Post the new questions if you have issues describing what you did to solve the problem and what exactly didn't work. The current question is too broad and your sample project has too many issues to cover in the single answer.
First I'd like to describe my set up:
I have a web service, let's call it "Cars", written in Java, that I've tested in eclipse with tomcat v6, working local (it was a requirement, so that once it works locally I can switch to do it with a "real" tomcat server so others can access). It works, it access the database, it offers an answer for certain URIs and so on.
I have coded in Plunker an angular 2 application, "WebCar", and I now want to run that on my computer, with a Tomcat server (unless there is a better way of doing it, I've been told to do it with Tomcat. Since I do not know any better option, that's why I talk about tomcat all of the time). With eclipse, I have already managed to get the app running, using palantir plugin for typescript https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/typescript , and then running the project with a server-launch.js which contains require('lite-server'); , this allows me to see the same I saw on plunker, so, it works, but before I upload anything to the business servers I wanted to check everything works (hence the set up, which may not be necessary but it's what I come up with).
I now want to go one step further and use, if possible, tomcat v6 to run my angular 2 app, instead of simply using that lite server, so that I can test that it works, and then uploading it to a "real", remote server.
I would like to know what options are there, what would be a better option, and anything that is required to make an angular 2 deployment properly. So far I've found this
https://stackoverflow.com/a/34408495/6028947 " You only have to deploy
.js files, since anyway browser won;t" which I don't fully get,
http://jspm.io/ which is for SystemJS (I have an older version of
Angular 2 and use config.js)
https://stackoverflow.com/a/37568235/6028947 which talks about
angular-cli or webpack, which makes a bundle but if I got that
running, I still don't know what to do with it to upload to Tomcat
and then connect it to my web service.
So maybe the question should be (I don't know for sure): Once you get your angular 2 code bundled, what's next?
Btw there are a few other questions on stackOverflow, similar to this, but as far as I've seen, without any answer at all or with answers only obliquely related to this (and of course, nothing resembling a guide or step by step required)
Thanks to #nuzz for this ..
I'm running a little script to build the project and then copy it to tomcat. I'm telling angular what the base directory is that it will run under in tomcat.
#!/bin/sh
ng build --base-href /angular/ --prod
mkdir -p /home/xxx/apache-tomcat-8.0.37/webapps/angular
cp -R /home/xxx/angular-clitest/dist/* /home/xxx/apache-tomcat-8.0.37/webapps/angular/
Once thats run, start tomcat and you can access it at: http://localhost:8080/angular
I have a few questions about deploying my .ear file (was provided to me, the file itself should not be the problem). I set up jBoss application server jboss-6.0.0.Final and was able to run a simple hello world app to ensure the server was functioning properly.
I was told to place the .ear file in /server/default/deploy so I did. When I ran jboss (through /bin/run.bat) I got no errors related to deploying the ear file.
Question
Is this all the software I need (jBoss)? Do I also need something like Apache or tomcat?
The .ear file contains RESTful service calls that should return xml. Will these be deployed (accessible through a jQuery ajax call after the server (jboss/bin/run.bat) is executed?
Currently when I try to make the calls, the resources do not seem to exist.
Thanks in advance for taking the time to help.
JBoss AS ships with an embedded Tomcat as a servlet container so you really don't need that anymore. Apache Web Server is NOT required for your .EAR to be deployed properly.
To answer your questions
No other software is needed to deploy the EAR. You simply copy your EAR file to deploy directory (which you have rightfully done so).
If your EAR contains RESTFul services, they will be deployed and you can access them using any client including jQuery or even a simple browsers. The trick is to know the access URL to the RESTFul services.
If you have difficulty identifying the URL for accessing your RESTFul services please refer [1] for more information.
Hope this helps.
Good luck!

I can answer the first question. You need apache if you want to serve static content or you need to isolate the traffic (say keep apache in the dmz and then use apache to proxy traffic to the internal jboss servers). tomcat is bundled along with jboss, so you do not need it.
Sorry for this simple question but I seem not to find any other way than to publish a GWT app to Google App Spot. I'm sure there must be a way to do this.
I've got the development environment working on my local machine but I'd like to publish the solution to my ubuntu server running nginx.
Edit: Just thought of something... maybe I can just deploy the js-code to the ubuntu server? As simple as that? ;)
No you cant just deploy the js-code and html files to an ubuntu server and put it for apache to serve, well... unless your code only outputs hello world that is. Probably your GWT app is calling/using some other Java code that needs to be deployed in tomcat or jboss, is it? If that is the case, ie your GWT is in a war, then yes, just deploy that .war file to any container on any linux box.
Try to copy your .war into a jboss deploy dir.
Deploying to app spot is similar, ie uploading your .war to google. Read more here http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/doc/1.6/DevGuideDeploying.html
Two options:
Run it in Eclipse
Run it with Ant
I have a J2EE application that runs fine and is accessible to the internet. Some of our prospective customers would like to use it, but are unwilling to send their data over the internet.
As a workaround I've thought of providing them with the war file and letting them run it themselves.
The problem is: how do I make it trivial for them to update the application when I make a new version available? The more difficult it is, the less likely they are to buy in.
What's involved in writing an updater that fetches the latest war file from online and updates the web application? Is this even possible?
In the least they would need to redeploy the war file. Most application servers have an interface through which you can upload a new war file. I am in favor of doing this process manually i.e. you send them a war file and they can use the app server's admin page to deploy the new war. This way they explicitly know when they are updating the app. Also they control when they want to deploy a new version of the app and easily roll back to an older version.
I would recommend using Jetty as an embedded solution. I have used a few apps that that use the embeded functionality. It allows you to create a packaged distribution of your application that runs a servlet container out of the box.
