run-war

Purpose

Packages the current Grails application into a Web Application Archive (WAR) file and runs the application in a Jetty container on port 8080

Examples

grails run-war
grails prod run-war
grails -Dserver.port=8090 run-war

Description

Usage:

grails [env]* run-war

Arguments:

• server.port - Specifies the port to run the server on (defaults to 8080)
• server.host - Specifies the host name to run the server on (defaults to localhost)

Fired Events:

• StatusFinal - When the container has been started
• StatusUpdate - When the container is reloading

This command will package Grails inside a WAR file and then run it with a Jetty container. 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.
