Apache Tomcat 9.0 Setup and Web Project Deployment in Visual Studio code

In this tutorial session, we will learn to set up Apache Tomcat in visual studio code, and then we will see how to create a War file from web project and deploy it in Tomcat and run the application.

Important to Know:
- Visual Studio Code doesn't come with any embedded application server.
- As we know to work with web applications it's important to have server integration.
- In visual studio code we need a third-party extension to integrate the Application server (Tomcat).

Step 1: Open Visual studio code and create a maven web project:

Watch the tutorial to create a maven web project in VS Code.

Step 2: Now we will create War file. (please follow instruction explained in the Video)

Step 3: Now install 'Tomcat for Java' Extension in Visual Studio Code.

Step 4: Download Tomcat from the below link:

Step 5: Import/integrate tomcat in Visual Studio Code.

Step 6: Learn Start/Stop Tomcat.

Step 7: Publish War in tomcat.

Step 8: Run the application in a web browser.

I can't run the .war file on tomcat!

Tomcat for Java extension is deprecated. Use the Community Server Connectors extension instead.
