To Run a Grails Application Using Standard Deployment

1. Change to the application directory. For example:

   cd as-install/grails/samples/helloworld

2. Create the WAR file using the following command:

   grails war

   This command creates a WAR file, helloworld-0.1.war in the helloworld application directory. The WAR file contains all the application's dependencies, and various jar files.

3. Deploy the WAR file in one of the following ways:

   • In the Administration Console, open the Applications component, go to the Web Applications page, select the Deploy button, and type the path to the WAR file. For example:

     as-install/grails/samples/helloworld/helloworld-0.1.war

   • Use the asadmin deploy command from command line to deploy the WAR file. For example:

     asadmin deploy helloworld-0.1.war

     ---

     Note - Depending on the configuration, you might be prompted for the asadmin password at this time.

     ---

4. To test your application, enter http://host:port/war-file-name in your browser. Do not include the .war extension. For example:

   http://localhost:8080/helloworld-0.1

   You should see a screen that shows the following message:

   Welcome to Grails

   Clicking the HelloController link should change the display to the following message:

   Hello World!
