run-war
Purpose
Packages the current Grails application into a Web Application Archive (WAR) file and runs the application in a Tomcat container on port 8080 (by default).
Examples
grails run-war grails run-war -https // with HTTPS grails run-war -restart // restarts without rebuilding the war grails prod run-war grails -Dserver.port=8090 run-war
Description
Usage:
grails [env]* run-war
Unlike thewarcommand,run-wardefault to the development environment (like most commands). To build and run a WAR file for a different environment just specify the environment name, e.g.grails prod run-war.
Arguments:
https- Start an HTTPS server (on port 8443 by default) alongside the main server. Just to be clear, the application will be accessible via HTTPS and HTTP.restart- Does not rebuild an already existing WAR.
Supported system properties:
grails.server.port.http/server.port- Specifies the HTTP port to run the server on (defaults to 8080)grails.server.port.https- Specifies the HTTPS port to run the server on (defaults to 8443)grails.server.host/server.host- Specifies the host name to run the server on (defaults to localhost)grails.tomcat.jvmArgs- A list of JVM arguments to be used for the forked JVM, e.g.["-Xms128m", "-Xmx512m"](defaults to["-Xmx512m"])
Fired Events:
StatusFinal- When the container has been startedStatusUpdate- When the container is reloading
This command packages your application into a WAR file and then runs it in the installed container. It is useful for quick deployment and/or testing. However, unlike run-app this command does not support reloading as a Grails WAR archive does not ship with Groovy sources, but only compiled byte code.
