title: Deploy to Tomcat using Maven
body: <p>I am working through online examples to deploy my web service (Spring Boot) using Maven. In development I was running 'mvn spring-boot:run' to run an embedded Tomcat server however now I want to run it on my actual Tomcat server and not the embedded one.</p>
  
  <p>However when I run 'mvn install tomcat7:deploy' it installs it in a Maven repository. I have followed about 4 different online examples but it always does the same thing. Instead, I am expecting it to my apache-tomcat-9.0.14 directory.</p>
  
  <p>Do I need to copy manually the files from Maven repository to my apache tomcat directories?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you.. any help appreciated!</p>
