For those that don't know what a ".war" file is...
From the Servlet 2.2 spec:
"Web applications can be packaged and signed, using the standard Java Archive
tools, into a Web
ARchive format (war) file. For example, an application for issue tracking
could be distributed in an
archive with the filename issuetrack.war.
When packaged into such a form, a META-INF directory will be present which
contains
information useful to the Java Archive tools. If this directory is present,
the servlet container must
not allow it be served as content to a web client's request."
In human terms... It is a jar file of everything that you would need in a
JSP/Servlet application. This includes any classes, JSP and Servlets that are used by
the application. The purpose of it is to allow you to package applications and
install applications on different servers with ease.
