Deploying a JSP Website - linux

I am trying to deploy a jsp website that I worked on. I implemented it on my windows machine and in the PATH variable I had the path to some bin directory, I am wondering where should I place this path or directory on the server I am deploying to.
The server is based on linux so I am not sure if that would make a difference.
I upload a single WAR file
I tried to place it in the lib directory but it didn't work.
Thank you

Assuming you have Tomcat installed on your Linux server then you can just place your WAR file inside the $CATALINA_BASE/webapps directory as described in the Tomcat documentation.
If you do not have Tomcat installed you can follow the Tomcat documentation setup guide or this blog post. You can also use a package manager such as YUM or APT depending on the server Linux distribution.

Jenkins deployment from linux server to windows server

In company i have 3 servers, 2 linux servers and 1 windows server. I build .war on Linux server and i want to deploy it on second linux and windows server, for linux i use deploy plugin and it doesn't support version of tomcat8, and also it doesn't have option deploy war on windows server.
So my idea is to deploy war to samba directory then use copy script to obtain .war file. For windows i can use samba folder and in tomcat configuration use a deploy Application from a Local Path. Is there some more gentle solution of this problem ? If there some risk from using that solution ?
Edit:
In case when I try to use mounted directory, i use docBase="//ip/directory" and path="directory" i obtain error with The main resource set specified [\ip\directory] is not valid. I'm curious is even possible to do this ?
So if someone will face the same problem that is the solution:
On Jenkins server install plugin to execute shell scripts. That allow us to run cURL command.
To deploy .war on Windows server use command with cURL, example:
curl -T /var/lib/jenkins/jobs/(Path to war ) http://user:password#ip:port/manager/text/deploy?path=/(nameOfWar)&update=true
Also add role manager-script to your Tomcat user.
For deploy on Linux servers I use plugin Deploy war/ear to a container. So it's all in Jenkins and Tomcat.

Deploying Java Servlet applications on Windows with IIS

I have develop JSP-Servlert application (i.e. WAR file) which running perfectly on tomcat server. Now I want to run same web application on IIS without tomcat.
Currently I am following this url: http://www.helicontech.com/articles/deploying-java-servlet-applications-on-windows-with-iis/
But while configuring Java hosting package as per mentioned in the above article, it is giving error to download jetty 8. Other softwares from the same package is getting download and install successfully.
When I checked the logs, I found that it is downloading the jetty from the URL: "http://dist.codehaus.org/jetty/jetty-hightide-8.1.7/jetty-hightide-8.1.7.v20120910.zip" and all the codehaus services has shutdown.
Can anyone help me to install the jetty into IIS or any other option to deploy the WAR into IIS?
Thanks,

Definately the easiest option, at the time of writing, is to use Microsoft's HttpPlatformHandler that you can install on IIS 8+ (Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012 at least).
You basically need to:
Install IIS on your machine
Install JDK
Install Jetty on Windows (just download zip and unpack it)
Create WAR file
Copy WAR file to your Jetty's installation folder under webapps directory.
Set up IIS web site with web.config as described here.
That's it. You can view your site using http://localhost:your_iis_defined_port/your_war_name. If you rename your WAR to root.war then 'your_war_name' will not be necessary.
I have prepared a step by step guide on how to do that with more explanation.
After hours of trying i managed it by adding a ReverseProxy Rule, this is fairly easy and done super fast.
I had these dependencies installed already: AAR and HttpProxyHandler

Install Glassfish on linux server for JSP & Servlet compatibility

I am facing a issue that i had made a project in J2EE (JSP & servlet) and i had uploaded every file on web server.
My web server is linux server and so i need to install glassfish server on it.
And also i had stretched my hairs from many days but i am not successful in it.
Actually i am unaware that how can i install it.
If it happens then JSP and servlet files will be compatible and web server can read it perfectly.
Any kind of help is acceptable.
Thanks in advance.
Glassfish is JSP & Servlet compatible by default :)
To install it, you have different options, depending on your operating system.
1)
Just unzip it manually.
go to https://glassfish.java.net/download.html and download glassfish-4.1.zip
setup Java (JAVA_HOME and PATH)
use your favourite unzip tool or go to the folder with the zip file and type unzip glassfish-4.1.zip -d /here/
type /here/glassfish4/bin/asadmin start-domain to start the server
configure the server via asadmin or the Glassfish Admin UI
2)
For Glassfish 4.0 or 3.1 you can also use the installer package.
go to https://glassfish.java.net/download-archive.html and download glassfish-4.0-unix.sh
make sure that the file is executable (+x) before you run it
follow the installer instructions

Unable to configure Tomcat 7 on Eclipse Juno

I have Eclipse Juno with Spring Tools Suite plugin installed.
I need to deploy a newly imported web project to Tomcat 7, which I installed on my system via repository.
The problem is that the New Server Wizard screen won't allow me to select Tomcat 7, as the description is empty and unmodifiable.
How can I fix this? I can select other versions of Tomcat but when I select the installation path of Tomcat I get an error that the installed version is 7.
As per the instruction s provided in this site
Follow these steps, as this is a known issue
Go to Window–>Preferences–>Server–>Runtime Environments and fix the broken path/link for the server.
Rename the org.eclipse.jst.server.tomcat.core.prefs to org.eclipse.jst.server.tomcat.core.prefs.bak (or you can delete this file). This file can be found at \workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.runtime\.settings
Rename the org.eclipse.wst.server.core.prefs to org.eclipse.wst.server.core.prefs.bak (or delete the file). This file also can be found at the same location as above.
Follow these steps
1.)Go to Window–>Preferences–>Server–>Runtime Environments and fix the broken path/link for the server.
2.)delete this file org.eclipse.jst.server.tomcat.core.prefs under this location \workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.runtime\.settings
3.)delete this file org.eclipse.wst.server.core.prefs under this location \workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.runtime\.settings
After following these step's you can configure tomcat in eclipse.
Click on Add Configuration Runtime environments
On the Server Runtime Environments Window you will more than likely see Apache Tomcat 7.
If you remove the runtime environment and then go Back to the New Server Wizard Tomcat 7 will be available to add again.
Hope that helps. That drove me nuts for a few days
The Eclipse Juno may not be fully compatible with the Apache Tomcat 7 yet. Installing and configuring with Tomcat 6 works. Simple.

Getting Tomcat to play well with Netbeans 6.7 on Linux

I have an external Tomcat server configured to run J2EE applications on my development (Gentoo Linux install) machine. This works great if the server is started prior to opening Netbeans and deploying the code [within the IDE]. This fails when I try to restart the server or to debug the server application. The error I get is that it is unable to find "catalina.sh" and the shutdown/start scripts for tomcat.
The Gentoo guide for this suggests that the scripts were outdated and were replaced with the init.d scripts. Does anyone have a suggestion on where I could find these scripts or how they solved this issue?
The lack of a script is due to an issue with the Gentoo Tomcat ebuild... all of the script files were in the bin directory of the src build.
Gentoo Bug Site
Solution:
1. un-tar the src
Copy all of the script files into the tomcat/bin directory
Change group ownership of the script files to tomcat
Enable execute and write group permissions to the script files
