Tomcat Maven Plugin - 401 error

[Dean Pullen]

Hi all,

Trying to deploy my first app to Tomcat using the Tomcat Maven Plugin.

I only ever seem to get this error however I configure the plugin:

[INFO] Deploying war to http://localhost:8080/suzcrmdata-web
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ERROR] BUILD ERROR
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Cannot invoke Tomcat manager
Embedded error: Server returned HTTP response code: 401 for URL: 
http://localhost:8080/manager/deploy?path=%2Fsuzcrmdata-web&war=



My tomcat-users.xml file states:
<tomcat-users>
 <role rolename="manager"/>
 <role rolename="admin"/>
 <user username="admin" password="admin" roles="admin,manager"/>
</tomcat-users>

My settings.xml states:
<servers>
                <server>
                                <id>localserver</id>
                                <username>admin</username>
                                <password>admin</password>
                </server>
</servers>

My pom.xml states:
<plugin>
                <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
                <artifactId>tomcat-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                <configuration>
                                <server>localserver</server>
                                <path>/suzcrmdata</path>
                                
<warFile>C:/Home/MSPDev/trunk/suzcrmdata/web/target/suzcrmdata-web-1.0-SNAPSHOT.war</warFile>
                </configuration>
</plugin>


I'm not sure why it tries to deploy using a null war param and also why it 
tries to deploy to suzcrmdata-web when I've put put the path in the plugin 
configuration as 'suzcrmdata'.

Any advice would be very much appreciated.

Regards,

Dean.
