Tomcat 7 maven plugin - I/O exception (java.net.SocketException) caught when processing request: Broken pipe

Question

I read all the questions regarding my issue with no success... I'm depolying my war with maven and I want it to go to tomcat server on another ip.

I followed all the settings...

My POM for the plugin

<plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.tomcat.maven</groupId>
        <artifactId>tomcat7-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.2</version>
        <configuration>
            <url>http://192.168.3.67:8080/manager/text</url>
            <server>TomcatServer</server>
            <path>webapp</path>
        </configuration>
    </plugin>

My /conf/settings.xml for tomcat has

<server>
        <id>TomcatServer</id>
        <username>maven</username>
        <password>maven</password>
</server>

And tomcat-user.xml is as follows

<role rolename="manager-gui"/>
<role rolename="manager-script"/>
<user username="system" password="raspberry" roles="manager-gui"/>
<user username="maven" password="maven" roles="manager-script"/>

When I try to deploy the application I got

I can simply deploy the application going to the manager page of the server, the server is reachable... I can't understand what can be...

Answer 1

Check if the tomcat port or path in the local configuration file is consistent with the remote tomcat

Answer 2

I have the same problem, and solved now. Just read this Tomcat deployement issue in a Maven project, by Belden Schroeder.

Ensure all of the following manager roles are added to your tomcat-users.xml.

<role rolename="manager-gui"/>
<role rolename="manager-script"/>
<role rolename="manager-jmx"/>
<role rolename="manager-status"/>
<user username="test1" password="test" roles="manager-script,manager-jmx" />

run: mvn tomcat7:deploy

output :

[INFO] --- tomcat7-maven-plugin:2.2:deploy (default-cli) @ xx ---

Answer 3

the path should start with slash.

change

<path>webapp</path>

to

<path>/webapp</path>
