Hello all: We have done all of the eclipse server configuration (adding tomcat-juli.jar by using eclipse server configuration ) . and we spent two days searching in the internet and testing different version of tomcat and different pc , after that we realized that eclipse can’t deploy web application to tomcat service automatically , finally one thread of stackoverflow suggest to build the war manually by right clicking on the project and choosing Export -> war file , as you know it is not the solution . I would much appreciate if you suggest any solution

My suggestion would be to install Tomcat separately and build your WAR file with an ANT script, which will automatically deploy your War file to $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps. In $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/server.xml, make sure you have unpackWARs and autoDeploy set to "true":

<Host name="localhost"  
  appBase="webapps"
  unpackWARs="true" 
  autoDeploy="true">
