deploy (war) into apache tomcat 6.0 at linux

i'm using apache-tomcat-6.0.26 that comes with netbeans 6.9 installation bundle .  You can run tomcat outside netbeans. When deploy, don't confuse with manager list apache tomcat server service inside netbeans.

To deploy into tomcat, just copy your war to :

/usr/local/apache-tomcat-6.0.26/webapps

or, you can use apache ant script, this's snippet script code at build.xml file for deploy to webapps folder :

<target name="deploy" depends="war">
        <echo message=" deploying ${war.dir}/${warfile} to ${deploy.dir}"/>
        <copy file="${war.dir}/${warfile}" todir="${deploy.dir}" overwrite="true"/>
    </target>

if you use manager list, don't forget to add manager role at :

/usr/local/apache-tomcat-6.0.26/conf/tomcat-users.xml
