managed to figure this out. Included below is a simple example that you can try out yourself:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Simple example to create a JSP page calling a Servlet and deploy the .war (or .ear) in JBoss ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1) create the foll directory structure: /example2/WEB-INF/classes 2) store the files as follows JSP File: /example2/index.jsp Servlet File: /example2/WEB-INF/classes/HelloWorld.class (compile the servet HelloWorld.java and store the class file) web.xml: /example2/WEB-INF/web.xml application.xml: /META-INF/application.xml 3) In JSP file, reference the Servlet as: <a href="/example2/Servlet/HelloWorld/> 4) web.xml file <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> | <!DOCTYPE web-app | PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN" | "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd";> | | <web-app> | <servlet> | <servlet-name>HelloWorld</servlet-name> | <servlet-class>HelloWorld</servlet-class> | </servlet> | <servlet-mapping> | <servlet-name>HelloWorld</servlet-name> | <url-pattern>/servlet/HelloWorld</url-pattern> | </servlet-mapping> | </web-app> 5) application.xml file <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> | | <application> | <display-name>Example 2</display-name> | <module> | <web> | <web-uri>example2.war</web-uri> | <context-root>/example2</context-root> | </web> | </module> | </application> 6) Create a .war file with the *contents* of example2 folder: cd c:\example2 jar -cvf example2.war * (Same thing can be done using winzip, but **enter example2 directory** and zip the contents to example2.war) 7) jar /META-INF/ + example2.war = example2.ear 8) Deploy example2.ear in /server/default/deploy directory OR skip #7 and deploy the example2.war directly into the deploy directory 9) http://localhost:8080/example2/index.jsp ---> JSP page http://localhost:8080/example2/servlet/HelloWorld ------> Servlet Note to access URLs: ------------------- The URL to access the JSP page will be: http://localhost:8080/<.war_package_name/>/page.jsp To access the Servlet, simply append the <url-pattern> defined for the Servlet like this: http://localhost:8080/<.war_package_name/>/**<url-pattern_for_servlet>** Deploying the .ear file instead of the .war has no bearing on the URLS.
