Deploy Lucee App as war file

[Alexander Diedler]

Hello,

I came from Java corner and know to deploy a java/tomcat webapp via war file. 

But how does it work with lucee, because the WEB-INF folder have also to be deployed or not?

What are the best way to deploy ramdomly webapps to lucee servers?

There are a couple of questions here:

a) How to deploy lucee as a war

b) How to deploy “random” wars to a “lucee server”

To answer a) 

A WAR is essentially a zip file (rename the extension) with a bunch of files in it and a WEB-INF folder. In that folder (which you don’t have now) you have to add a web.xml file that you can see in the tomcat conf/web.xml and then it is a web app all by itself.

you would also need to move a bunch of the jars to that WEB-INF/lib (or libs can’t recall) 

so it’s a small process of just moving stuff round to make yourself a deployable lucee web app

To answer b) 

Lucee Server is actually just tomcat configured to serve apps so you could just throw your war to the /lucee/webapps folder and it should deploy it to http://localhost:8080/webappname/

Does that help?

Thank you Mark for your quick overview.
I understand I need my APP in a folder e.g. webcontent and inside this a WEB-INF folder /lucee/Web.XML
But what is with the whole Railo Webadmin config and settings from this WEB-INF folder? Does I have to copy and package it with my WebApp to a war file? Normally you call http://APP:8888/lucee/Admin/Web.cfm to configure customtag path,schedled Tasks etc. Do I need to zip it also and deploy? For warfile deployment i understand the uploaded war delete the target folder and then extract the content.
