title: How to manually deploy a web service on Tomcat 6?
body: <p>I'm learning how to develop SOAP web services with Java.</p>
  
  <p>So far now I've been following this excellent tutorial</p>

  <p>It all goes well, I have my web service working from the command line with it's embedded server and then, with the help of NetBeans I deployed it on Tomcat.</p>
  
  <p>I'd like to know the steps to manually deploy it on Tomcat, in order to learn how it's done and because I don't like depending on an IDE.</p>
  
  <p>I mean, I'd like to know how everything could be done from the command line and a text editor.</p>
  
  <p>I've also found this link that explains how to manually deploy a servlet to Tomcat, </p>

  <p>but I couldn't find any article telling how to deploy a web service.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks a lot.</p>
