How do I run a web application using SpringSource Toolsuite?
I'd like to run my Spring application using STS, but I have no idea how to do that. I see the tc server instance, and I can run it, but this does not start my application. I've tried dragging my project workspace onto it, but that hasn't worked either. I've right-clicked and read/checked out all of the options on the context-sensitive menu, but I don't see anything to run my project inside tc server. Does anyone know how?
EDIT:
This is what I get when running the project. I see nothing about my project's war at all. It is included as a "web module" when I check out the tc server settings though. And it does have a web.xml and all of that other good stuff. The project works fine in maven's tomcat goal and inside IDEA. I am just having problems getting it to run in eclipse.

Answer
If you are missing the Run As > Run on Server option, then chances are your project does not have the Dynamic Web Module facet.
