How to set up Gradle for a web application?

Question

Java

Good evening, please tell me how to set up a gradle script for compiling and deploying tomcat web applications. I use servlet and jstl and so far I have such a script, but I can’t figure out what to do next ...

apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'war'

sourceCompatibility = 1.8

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    providedCompile 'javax.servlet:javax.servlet-api:3.1.0'
    testCompile group: 'junit', name: 'junit', version: '4.11'
}
