Can't access Tomcat7 manager

[perrohunter]

This, pretty cool, archetype is not allowing access to the tomcat manager, therefore deployment automation is not possible (easily), is there a way to have spring let the request to http://localhost:8080/manager/html go through?

@perrohunter The archetype uses tomcat7 plugin (http://tomcat.apache.org/maven-plugin-2.0/tomcat7-maven-plugin/). You can check the website how to deploy using not embedded Tomcat server. You need to adjust the POM to make it work, provide a valid goal etc. Hope it helps!
