After deploying war files to tomcat, webapp does not show new changes

I have a maven project that uses spring framework. So when I deploy, I have to build new .war files by running mvn clean install -P LOCAL, This will create new .war files. Then I copy these war files to tomcat directory under webapps. The problem is when I access the app through localhose:8080, I don't see the changes. What am I doning wrong?

EDIT:

It's the UI .war file that does not update. Other war files does show changes. So all changes to UI are not showing. I tried clearing cache, but it did'nt work (ctrl + f5 does not work too).

What I suggest you as steps for deploying on tomcat:

  1. Stop tomcat application or service
  2. Go to your webapp folder (the one related to your project), and remove all files from it (both .war and extracted files)
  3. Delete the work folder from tomcat root path
  4. Copy your .war file to your webapp folder
  5. Restart Tomcat

A tip: you can easly autodeploy your app with Maven by using a plugin , you can find all info here. With this you can easly run tomcat7:redeploy , he will take care of the dirt and the deploy operations :)

You can go to http://localhost:8080/manager/ and try to re-deploy your war.

Try to clear your tomcat directory and copy the fresh war files.
