the Dockerfile COPY command copies FROM the docker HOST to the image… so, that folder ```auto 'COPY' **target** /MyWar.war' ``` MUST Be on the docker HOST and in the same folder as the dockerfile, during docker build command execution. (same folder cause it is a relative path) ---

If it is the same, both the destination folder and the DockerFile are in the same directory, I see that great detail, the file MyWar.war is not XD, obviously it should be in the target compilation folder but not if so, I should check that my .war is created well to continue ---

Hi … I have a doubt here. Sorry if I am asking any stupid question. How to find the destination for tomcat in a container. Here it is mentioned /var/lib/tomcat/webapps. Is it same for all. I am creating a dockerfile- From tomcat. So could you please tell me what should be my destination path for .war to deploy.
