build an J2EE application with docker

Question

If I am building a J2EE using maven I need to mvn clean & mvn package and then upload the war file on the tomcat webapp. Is there any other way around like once I have changed the code, then the result will automatically show up when I access the ip of the container? Can anyone help me with this query?

Answer 1

I would suggest you to use volume binding for what you want.It can be achieved by running

docker run -d -v $(pwd):/code-directory $(pwd)  for your local directory.

It is applicable for local environment.

I hope it will help you.
