Deploying a sample Spring Web MVC project

I'm new to Tomcat, Maven and Spring Web MVC (framework v3 to be precise). I was trying to build the example project mvc-basic so that I could deploy the generated WAR file on a test server (not locally) and analyse the effects.

When I run Maven in the directory containing pom.xml, I see these vague error messages.

I have little to no knowledge about the things mentioned by the compiler. How can I generate the WAR file? Which tools am I missing?

Open Terminal, cd to the directory containing your project and type the following

$ mvn tomcat:deploy

That will put the WAR file into your tomcat installation webapps folder.

But first you might want to make sure everything is set up properly. For more info, here is how to deploy a Maven webapp to Tomcat and there you will also find how to add Spring MVC 3, Hibernate, etc

You need to run mvn package.

WAR file will appear in target subfolder after running it.
