The war command will create a web application archive (WAR) file using the application name and version number. By default a war file deployable to the production environment will be created, but the environment can be specified using Grails standard convention:

grails test war
grails dev war
grails prod war

grails -Dgrails.env=UAT war

Once the WAR has been created you should follow the instructions that relate to the container which you are using to complete deployment
