Jenkins - Deploy Tomcat 7 (fails)

Bei der Umstellung von Apache Tomcat 6 auf die Version 7, kann zu Problemen beim Deploy von war-Files kommen.

BUILD FAILED
java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 403 
for URL: http://localhost:8080/manager/list
 at sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.getInputStream
...

Der Grund dafür ist, dass bei der Version 7 sich einige URL´s und Rollen für den Text-Zugriff auf die Tomcat Manager Apllication geändert haben.

Angepasste URLs

The Manager application has been re-structured for Tomcat 7 onwards and some of URLs have changed. All URLs used to access the Manager application should now start with one of the following options:

• /manager/html for the HTML GUI
• /manager/text for the text interface
• /manager/jmxproxy for the JMX proxy
• /manager/status for the status pages

Note that the URL for the text interface has changed from "/manager" to "/manager/text".

Angepasste Rollen

Note that for Tomcat 7 onwards, the roles required to use the manager application were changed from the single manager role to the following four roles. You will need to assign the role(s) required for the functionality you wish to access.

• manager-gui: allows access to the HTML GUI and the status pages
• manager-script: allows access to the text interface and the status pages
• manager-jmx: allows access to the JMX proxy and the status pages
• manager-status: allows access to the status pages only
