Description andyraffle 2007-08-29 16:53:03 UTC 
There is no support (as yet) for exploded directory deployment to Tomcat servers. Any iterative development of JSP or
similar content requires a new build+deploy of the code. This makes things very slow. Glassfish is supported, but as far
as I can see it is the only server which is. Is there another way to do this at the moment, or is there a plan to
support this in future releases?

Create the following as .netbeans/dev/apache-tomcat-6.0.13_base/conf/Catalina/localhost/deployedname.xml, where
deployedname is whatever you want the deployed web app to be called.  Note later daily builds of 6 use tomcat 6.0.14,
change path appropriately.  On Windows .netbeans is under c:\Document and Settings\userid and on POSIX it is in the home
directory (I don't know about Macs I'm afraid).
