Eclipse with Tomcat7, where my application is running from?

58 Views Asked by At

When working with Apache Tomcat I know to look for my .war file in %CATALINA_HOME%/webapps. Running Eclipse MARS with Tomcat plugin - the webapps directory is empty.
Eclipse is installed at C:/eclipse/
Tomcat is installed at C:/tomcat7/
Using Windows 10 and Java 1.8.0_131
JAVA_HOME=C:/Program Files/java/1.8.0_131/
CATALINA_HOME=C:/tomcat7/

From where Eclipse with its Tomcat plugin is running my web application?

The default setting of the eclipse tomcat plugin (WTP) would configure a separate server instance which its root folder is specified by CATALINA_BASE. This server instance will has its own configuration and webapps folder under CATALINA_BASE.

The value of the CATALINA_BASE can be configured from the following UI:

So , in the above configuration , the war will be deployed to $project_workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core\tmp3\wtpwebapps\
