Usage

 If no explicit configuration is provided then the Tomcat7 Maven Plugin defaults to
 the following:

 * Tomcat manager URL of <<<http://localhost:8080/manager>>>

 * Authentication details of username <<<admin>>> and no password

 * Context path of <<</$\{project.artifactId\}>>>

 []

 These can be overridden as described below.

* Using a different Tomcat manager URL

 To configure the plugin for a different Tomcat instance, add a plugin
 configuration block to your <<<pom.xml>>> as follows:

+--
<project>
  ...
  <build>
    ...
    <plugins>
      ...
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.tomcat.maven</groupId>
        <artifactId>tomcat7-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>${project.version}</version>
        <configuration>
          <url>http://www.mydomain.com:1234/mymanager</url>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
      ...
    </plugins>
    ...
  </build>
  ...
</project>
+--

 The default Tomcat manager URL is <<<http://localhost:8080/manager>>>.

* Using different Tomcat manager authentication details

 To specify a different username and password to use when authenticating with
 Tomcat manager:

 [[1]] Add a plugin configuration block to your <<<pom.xml>>>:

+--
<project>
  ...
  <build>
    ...
    <plugins>
      ...
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.tomcat.maven</groupId>
        <artifactId>tomcat7-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>${project.version}</version>
        <configuration>
          <server>myserver</server>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
      ...
    </plugins>
    ...
  </build>
  ...
</project>
+--

 [[2]] Add a corresponding <<<server>>> block to your <<<settings.xml>>>:

+--
<settings>
  ...
  <servers>
    ...
    <server>
      <id>myserver</id>
      <username>myusername</username>
      <password>mypassword</password>
    </server>
    ...
  </servers>
  ...
</settings>
+--

 []

 The default authentication details are username <<<admin>>> and no password.

* Using a different context path

 The default context path is <<</$\{project.artifactId\}>>>.

 To change the context path to <<</mycontext>>> configure the plugin like this:

+--
<project>
  ...
  <build>
    ...
    <plugins>
      ...
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.tomcat.maven</groupId>
        <artifactId>tomcat7-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>${project.version}</version>
        <configuration>
          <path>/mycontext</path>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
      ...
    </plugins>
    ...
  </build>
  ...
</project>
+--

 If you are using <<<project.build.finalName>>> to change the name of your WAR
 file, you can use that value when you configure the context path as well. To do
 that add the following configuration block to your <<<pom.xml>>>:

+--
<project>
  ...
  <build>
    ...
    <finalName>mycontext</finalName>
    ...
    <plugins>
      ...
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.tomcat.maven</groupId>
        <artifactId>tomcat7-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>${project.version}</version>
        <configuration>
          <path>/\${project.build.finalName}</path>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
      ...
    </plugins>
    ...
  </build>
  ...
</project>
