Incidentally, out of curiosity I searched Google with "manually creating WAR files" and the first entry is a nice Sun Web page that will help you get up to speed with some of this stuff.....

My problem is that I don't know how to create a WAR file with the basic structure in it. I have to do it manually but I don't know how. 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. -----Original Message----- From: Shapira, Yoav [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: miercoles, 24 de marzo de 2004 21:15 To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: How to deploy a web application under Tomcat 5 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.

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).
