Special Considerations
This plugin has the following pre-requisites:
- The
JAVA_HOMEenvironment variable must be set to a supported JDK for the version of Tomcat being used. - The Tomcat user specified by property
FDTOM_USERNAMEmust be granted the manager (Tomcat 6.0.x) or manager-script (Tomcat 7+) role. - The target Tomcat server must be running prior to calling this operation.
- An application with the given
FDTOM_CONTEXT_ROOTmust be deployed and be in the running state. - Application reloading (to pick up changes to the classes or web.xml file) is not supported when a web application is deployed directly from a WAR file. It only works when the web application is deployed from an unpacked directory. If you are using a WAR file, you should undeploy and then deploy again to pick up your changes.
