Answer 1

When I set in the ~/.m2/settings.xml,it does not work. So I set in the pom.xml,like this:

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.tomcat.maven</groupId>
    <artifactId>tomcat7-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>${tomcat7-maven-plugin.version}</version>
    <configuration>
        <url>http://localhost:8080/manager/text</url>
        <server>tomcat</server>
        <username>admin1</username>
        <password>admin1</password>
        <path>/${project.artifactId}</path>
        <update>true</update>
     </configuration>
</plugin>

And in $CATALINA_HOME/conf/tomcat-users.xml file, in <tomcat-users> element, add as follows:

<role rolename="manager-script"/>
<role rolename="manager-gui"/>
<user username="admin" password="admin" roles="manager-gui"/>
<user username="admin1" password="admin1" roles="manager-script"/>

Then it works for me. :)

Answer 2

The role for deploying on /manager/text is "manager-script" and the Apache Tomcat Manager How-To indicates it shouldn't be applied to a user with the manager-gui role. I use a deployment user with only the manager-script role and no others, and that uploads the WAR file fine without the broken pipe message. If I add the manager-gui role to my deployment user, I get the broken pipe message you encounter. Try changing your tomcat-users.xml to limit Cliff's role to the single manager-script role. Hope it helps.

Answer 3

You may need to add this

<configuration>
   ..
   <update>true</update>
   ..
</configuration>

to your pom.xml file to run

mvn tomcat7:deploy

Answer 4

I got this error when running mvn tomcat7:deploy instead of mvn tomcat7:redeploy.

Answer 5

If you're running CentOS, you may need to install additional management libraries:

yum install tomcat-webapps tomcat-admin-webapps

On other platforms solution may be similar.

Answer 6

I haven't been able to use the mvn redeploy shortcut since I merged in the code that split it into a few mvn modules. I recommend copying the .war file from webapp/target to the tomcat webapps dir on your computer/server.

Answer 7

May be you should check the webapps/manager/WEB-INF/web.xml file to ensure your .war file is smaller than the configured value.

  <max-file-size>152428800</max-file-size>
  <max-request-size>152428800</max-request-size>

Answer 8

if you already have the same application deploy on the tomcat server you need to undeploy it first. If you deploy it again it can give your the connection error.
