Configuring Apache Tomcat Web Server in Eclipse
Eclipse Tomcat Configuration steps are given below with some more informative details
1. Goto http://tomcat.apache.org Download Tomcat 8.0 Binary distribution Core "tar.gz" package e.g., "apache-tomcat-8.0.{xx}.tar.gz", about 8 MB
2. Take a quick look at the Tomcat installed directory. It contains the following sub-directories:
bin: contains the binaries; and startup script ex. startup.bat for Windows and startup.sh for Unixes and Mac OS X, shutdown script shutdown.bat for Windows and shutdown.sh for Unix and Mac OS X, and other binaries and scripts.
conf: contains the system-wide configuration files, such as server.xml, web.xml, context.xml, and tomcat-users.xml.
lib: contains the Tomcat's system-wide JAR files, accessible by all webapps. You could also place external JAR file such as MySQL JDBC Driver here.
logs: contains Tomcat's log files. You may need to check for error messages here.
webapps: contains the webapps to be deployed. You can also place the WAR Webapp Archive file for deployment here.
work: Tomcat's working directory used by JSP, for JSP-to-Servlet conversion.
temp: Temporary files.
3. The Tomcat configuration files are located in the "conf" sub-directory of your Tomcat installed directory,
server.xml The default TCP port number configured in Tomcat is 8080, you may choose any number between 1024 and 65535, my config 9999
web.xml We shall enable directory listing by changing "listings" from "false" to "true" for the "default" servlet. This is handy for test system, but not for production system for security reasons.
context.xml reloadable="true"
tomcat-users.xml Tomcat users
