Re: How to deploy a web application under Tomcat 5

[Henry Martin]

Use Ant to build it!!! I can't say that loudly enough. This tutorial is 
one that helped me get started.

I skipped the test section in the beginning, and didn't do everything 
as specified. I am leaving for an appointment right now and will pass 
along other helpful parts later.

COuld you tell me where to find the information?.
Once I have this WAR file, I suppose I only have to put it under 
webapps and
restart TOmcat, right?
THanks for your patience.

Hi,

THanks for your response, the problem is that I don't have a clue 
about
how
to create a WAR application.
A WAR file is a type of jar file (which in turn is a type of zip file).
You can create a WAR file using java's jar command or Ant's war task.
files. I only need Tomcat to recognize the structure
MyApp
 |
 --- WEB-INF
       |
        classes
        lib
 ---- web.xml
Tomcat will recognize this structure: create a directory called MyApp 
in
your webapps directory, and create the above directories/files under 
it.
Restart tomcat, and you'll be able to access
http://localhost:8080/MyApp.  There won't be anything there, of course.
Create a simple test.html page and try
http://localhost:8080/MyApp/test.html.

DO you happen to know where to find this information. I could not find
it
anywhere.
What information?  How to create directories?  How to create WAR files?
How to write web applications?  The things I've described above are
trivial, easily accessible via Google for example.  The specifics of 
the
WAR file format are in the Servlet Specification (http://java.sun.com).
