maven项目在tomcat7中运行时的方法

Maven创建完webapp项目部署到tomcat有三种方式，如果有知道其他方式部署的，欢迎补充。

第一种、讲war包copy到tomcat的webapps目录下。

首先选中你的工程，右键-->Run As-->Maven install，如下图：

等build成功后，找到workspace中的项目，然后找到target中的war包，copy到tomcat的webapps目录下启动即可。

第二种、在Eclipse中添加tomcat server，然后用此server启动project。

Eclipse默认没有安装tomcat server，可以在Eclipse左上角File-->New-->Other选择Server-->Server-->Next-->Apache-->Tomcat v7.0 Server-->Next，然后选择Tomcat home的目录Finish，则tomcatServer安装成功了。

然后就可以选中项目，右键Run As -->Run on Server即可。

第三种、用tomcat的Catalina中配置的XML文件中启动。

选中项目，右键-->Properties，选中Tomcat，勾选Is a Tomcat Project，然后在Context name 中输入项目名称，下面的Subdirectrory to set as web application root (optional) 框中写 /target/HelloWorld ，此处的HelloWorld是指你pom.xml中build的finalName。如下图：

点击Apply，然后OK。

也可以在Tomcat的confCatalinalocalhost中创建helloworld.xml，里面内容如下：

<Context path="helloworld" reloadable="true" docBase="E:workspacehelloworldtargethelloworld" workDir="E:workspacehelloworldwork" />

启动Tomcat之前先选中项目Run As -->Maven install。Build成功后再执行Eclipse中的Tomcat插件的猫形图，启动Tomcat。执行Maven install的目的就是在target目录下产生helloworld文件夹

如出现下面错误时

解决方法：

This was added by right clicking on the project in Eclipse.

->Properties -> Deployment Assembly -> Add --> andthen selected Maven Dependencies.
