The command "grails dev war" deploys perfectly in my local Tomcat6 server with a generated war which contains the next folders:
css
images
js
META-INF
plugins
WEB-INF
Unfortunately, I need that the command tomcat:deploy works too (I'm actually using: tomcat:redeploy -DskipTests). But Tomcat gives the next error:
2013-05-23 05:12:53,094 [http-8080-4] ERROR digester.Digester - Parse Fatal Error at line 1 column 1: Final de archivo prematuro.
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; systemId: jndi:/localhost/Alojamiento/WEB-INF/web.xml; lineNumber: 1; columnNumber: 1; Final de archivo prematuro.
at
I added an empty web.xml in order to maven compiled. It is also empty in the generated war. So it is probably the cause of the problem ("grails dev war" generates a web.xml with code). Futhermore, the generated war only contains the next folders:
META-INF
WEB-INF
To be able to use "tomcat deploy", I added the next code to the pom.xml (after adding pom true, running "create-pom group" and other configuration changes):

It is perfectly working with this:
CONFIGURATION
Previously, if you are using Eclipse with the plugin m2e, here is explained how to configure Eclipse in order to use Tomcat with it: tomcat-maven-plugin: Server returned HTTP response code: 403
Now, we need a proper settings.xml in the C:\Users\user.m2 with the same user and password than tomcat-users.xml. Then, we need to have our pom.xml configurated as follow:
MAVEN COMMANDS TO DEPLOY:
The next command get the configuration values of our database from datasource.groovy - production environmnent:
To get the values from the development environment, the commands are the next:
Note1: if we not add -DskipTests (to no running tests before to deploying), and some test fail, it won't deploy.
Note2: in eclipse (with the plugin m2e for maven installed), you have to type these commands in the next field:
UPDATE 1
Do not forget to create an empty web.xml under src/main/webapp/WEB-INF!
UPDATE 2
Do not forget to tell Grails to use the pom.xml: http://grails.org/doc/2.3.x/ref/Command%20Line/create-pom.html
Try
That should hopefully get grails to attach the correct WAR artefact to the build so that the empty default one is not uploaded.
