Martin, It can depend on your version of GWT. If you are using the GWT-Eclipse Plugin (GEP), you can just click the GWT Compile button from the toolbar. After it compiles successfully, open your project folder (outside of Eclipse). You will see a war folder inside your project folder. Open that war folder. You will see a few files and folders. Select everything and create a zip file (this should be a right-click action). Name the zip file something.war and that's it. When you drop that war file into your Tomcat webapps folder, it will get automatically expanded into a folder named the same as the war file name (without the extension).
If you are using an older version of GWT, then the manual steps I outlined a while back may help and can be found: http://milamade.com/code/gwt/createwar.htm HTH, Chad On Jul 20, 8:01 am, martinhansen <martin.hanse...@googlemail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I want to export my GWT app as a WAR file and deploy it on a tomcat > server.
