I have tomcat in a different location other than netbeans inbuilt tomcat .I have already created a project called MyPos in the webapps directory of tomcat ,My src directory is present inside MyPos folder .My requirement is to map netbeans directly to the MyPos directory , I should be able to map to the src direcory which is inside MyPos and define a output folder so that class files are created inside the web-inf/classes directory. I should be able to edit my jsp and js files that is present inside MyPos directory . Iam doing this mapping to avoid building and deploying every time i make change even in my js or jsp file .Iam able to achive this easily in eclipse . Can we do this using netbeans . I tried my best to achive in netbeans but netbeans has its own structure which i don't require . Iam wasting lot of time in building and deploying hence i want to map directly to the MyPos project .Can you help me?
We use in-place deployment (deployment of a directory) for Bundled Tomcat and most probably for external Tomcat too. It should not waste your time then. Moreover you can setup your project by editing .properties files. Just today we implemented special check box in project's properties "Do not build WAR file" which should improve performance for directory-based deployment. Are your needs satisfied with these features?
