   1. The location you deploy web applications to for this type of deployment is called the appBase which is specified per Host. Copy the WAR file to be deployed to appBase location.(default appBase is "$CATALINA_BASE/webapps").This method will work only if Host's deployOnStartup attribute is "true".
