Where is my app placed when deploying to Tomcat using IntelliJ IDEA?

I am deploying an application from IntelliJ IDEA to the local Tomcat server. I thought the apps you deploy are placed in the webapps folder, however it does not turn up there.

Is this correct? Where is it?

Solution

  • Yes, If you are using IntelliJ IDEA the application does not turn up on Tomcat webapps directory. Your artifacts are in directory, for example:

    ${dir.to.idea.project}\YourWebApp\out\artifacts

    This is default directory created by IntelliJ.

    Tomcat configuration is in the different folder. I am using windows 7. So it is:

    C:\Users\User\.IntelliJIdea10\system\tomcat\YourApplicationName
