Deploying maven-webapp-project in tomcat10

I have generated webapp using maven:archetype selecting maven-archetype-webapp as template
 <properties>    <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>    <maven.compiler.source>11</maven.compiler.source>    <maven.compiler.target>11</maven.compiler.target>  </properties>
and the below config inside build section of pom.xml
<plugins>      <plugin>        <groupId>org.apache.tomcat.maven</groupId>        <artifactId>tomcat7-maven-plugin</artifactId>        <!-- Run won't work for 7, but deploy will work?? -->        <version>2.2</version>        <configuration>          <url>http://localhost:8080/manager/text</url>          <server>tomcat-server</server>          <path>/my-webapp</path>        </configuration>      </plugin>    </plugins>
For tomcat in tomcat-users.xml, inside tomcat-users section
<role rolename="manager-gui"/> <user username="tomcat" password="s3cret" roles="manager-gui"/>
and maven settings.xml
<server>      <id>tomcat-server</id>      <username>tomcat</username>      <password>s3cret</password>    </server>
I have checked that I am able to go to localhost:8080/ and click on manager-app and able to see Tomcat Web Application Manager

But when I run
<code>mvn clean install tomcat7:deploy </code>

I am getting the below error
```
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.codehaus.mojo:tomcat-maven-plugin:1.1:deploy (default-cli) on project my-webapp: Cannot invoke Tomcat manager: Server returned HTTP response code: 40
5 for URL: http://localhost:8080/manager/deploy?path=%2Fmy-webapp&war= -> [Help 1]

```
What I am trying to do is, get maven to copy the war file and deploy into tomcat-server

P.S I am using tomat 10

Do you think it is helpful :

No, I have already mentioned most of those steps in original post except for <path>/<path> which also didn't work.
I tried changing plugin from tomcat7 to tomcat and also maven command from tomcat7 to tomcat , they didn't work too which I haven't mentioned in the post.

Tomcat 7 is seriously ancient at this point.

If your code is still using the javax JEE class packages, you should consider Tomcat 9. If you are using jakarta JEE class packages, use Tomcat 10 or later.

Note that the Maven archetypes are generally not well-maintained and can be unreliable at best. At this point you will probably need to take your archetype-generated project and manually update the obsolete stuff.

I am not using tomcat 7. I am using tomcat 10. I am trying the tomcat-maven-plugin and tomcat7-maven-plugin which have tomcat7:deploy or tomcat:deploy (plugin:goal). It is in a course about maven.

I would be very wary about using a "tomcat7" component and expecting things to work on Tomcat 10.

I don't use Maven to deploy or run Tomcat, but some similar services would actually be downloading a Tomcat 7 and deploying to it, not to a Tomcat you happened to have installed externally. In any event, there are differences in database connection pools, security roles and Realms between Tomcat 7 and Tomcat 10.

You can download anything from the Internet — or for that matter type it in from a book. But that doesn't mean it will still work properly years later. I must have spent half a decade admonishing people not to use features of JavaServer Faces that had been deprecated when JSF moved from experimental to production because they were getting fed stale info from their web searches.

Did you ever find the solution for issue? "tomcat8-maven-plugin" is the best I could find. There is not a "tomcat10-maven-plugin" and don't even know if there will be one which the devs may have a different solution or in mind.
Did you end up using a different maven archetype strictly for tomcat and jakarta conversion?
Does your project happen to use jakarta libraries?

I'm stuck on the same exact issue and struggling to clean and build mine for tomcat10.

Hi Bruce, I couldn't find any solution. I was following Learning Apache Maven back then

It's a bit confusing, but the tomcat7 plugin is indeed the correct one to use if you want to deploy a web application to Tomcat 10. The name tomcat7 should be understood as tomcat7andhigher.

Things to look out for:

Explicitly set a version for all default plugins used in your build.

Use a jakarta.servlet-api or a jakarta.jakartaee-web-api version that's compatible with your application container.

Ensure that the tomcat7 plugin configuration refers to the correct server ID from your settings.xml.

Ensure that the settings.xml uses the same username and password as used in tomcat-users.xml.

Ensure that you have the correct roles set for your tomcat user.

I created a minimal POM that should work with Tomcat 10:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <project  xmlns              = "http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"  xmlns:xsi          = "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"  xsi:schemaLocation = "http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd" >  <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>  <groupId>com.example</groupId>  <artifactId>example-web-application</artifactId>  <version>0.1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>  <packaging>war</packaging>  <name>Example Web Application</name>  <dependencies>    <dependency>      <groupId>jakarta.servlet</groupId>      <artifactId>jakarta.servlet-api</artifactId>      <version>5.0.0</version>    </dependency>  </dependencies>  <build>    <pluginManagement>      <plugins>        <plugin>          <artifactId>maven-clean-plugin</artifactId>          <version>3.3.1</version>        </plugin>        <plugin>          <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>          <version>3.11.0</version>        </plugin>        <plugin>          <artifactId>maven-install-plugin</artifactId>          <version>3.1.1</version>        </plugin>        <plugin>          <artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId>          <version>3.3.1</version>        </plugin>        <plugin>          <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>          <version>3.1.2</version>        </plugin>        <plugin>          <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>          <version>3.4.0</version>        </plugin>        <plugin>          <groupId>org.apache.tomcat.maven</groupId>          <artifactId>tomcat7-maven-plugin</artifactId>          <version>2.2</version>          <configuration>            <server>Tomcat10</server>          </configuration>        </plugin>      </plugins>    </pluginManagement>  </build> </project>
My settings.xml looks similar to this:
<settings  xmlns              = "http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0"  xmlns:xsi          = "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"  xsi:schemaLocation = "http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0 https://maven.apache.org/xsd/settings-1.0.0.xsd" >  <servers>    <server>      <id>Tomcat10</id>      <username>example-user</username>      <password>example-password</password>    </server>  </servers> </settings>
My tomcat-users.xml looks similar to this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!--  Licensed to the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) under one or more  contributor license agreements.  See the NOTICE file distributed with  this work for additional information regarding copyright ownership.  The ASF licenses this file to You under the Apache License, Version 2.0  (the "License"); you may not use this file except in compliance with  the License.  You may obtain a copy of the License at      http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0  Unless required by applicable law or agreed to in writing, software  distributed under the License is distributed on an "AS IS" BASIS,  WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or implied.  See the License for the specific language governing permissions and  limitations under the License. --> <tomcat-users  version            = "1.0"  xmlns              = "http://tomcat.apache.org/xml"  xmlns:xsi          = "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"  xsi:schemaLocation = "http://tomcat.apache.org/xml tomcat-users.xsd" >  <user    username = "example-user"    password = "example-password"    roles    = "admin,manager-gui,manager-script"  /> </tomcat-users>

Just to avoid confusion here:

1. The pom.xml file is located at the root of the project (of course!)

2. The settings.xml file is located in the Maven configuration directory for the developer ($HOME/.m2, for Linux users).

3. The tomcat-users.xmlfile is located (by default) in the Tomcat configuration directory (TOMCAT_HOME/conf).
