The standard way I use for doing this is the following: 1. Create a .war of the app 2. Copy it to the right machine and place it in the webapps dir (on Unix likely something like /usr/local/apache-tomcat-9.0/webapps) 3. The tomcat on the remote machine (by default config but this can be changed) will automatically unpack and put it in the right place (i.e. if your war file is X.war then the webapp will be called X)
There are a few gotcha's here though: 1. The remote tomcat needs to be configured for auto deploy (this the default) 2. Your app needs to be truely portable (not dependant on anything outside of it, it's .class and .jar files is needed and if you do have any such dependencies the web app can automatically create them through whatever init code you have I add one more thing to the above steps and it works out 99% of the time... You might need to create what I call a "config mode" which contains anything that is unique to a given machine and/or mode of operation... for example in my main webapp I have Config.MODE=Config.MODE.DEV for development and Config.MOD=Config.MODE.LIVE for production.... The main differences is DEV attempts to minimize the use of external API's and often fakes them LIVE does not and where the respective DB's live.
