Special Considerations

This plugin has the following pre-requisites:

  • The JAVA_HOME environment variable must be set to a supported JDK for the version of Tomcat being used.
  • The Tomcat user specified by property FDTOM_USERNAME must be granted the manager-script role.
  • The target Tomcat server must be running prior to calling this operation.
  • An application with the given FDTOM_CONTEXT_ROOT must 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.
