Speaking of "gratuitously difficult".....
Has anyone ever messed with the "deploytool" in J2EE?
Um, yes; two years back though!
I just want to deploy a simple war file.
Use Apache Ant. It will take you a week to become confident in writing basic buildfiles, butyour life will change forever and other doors will open as well (gode generation being one of them).
Basically, shouldn't I be able to jar up everything in a webapp directory as long as I add the
correct "deployment descripter"?
True; you can do that using the jar command.
Also, is it possible to create a war file that has a "context.xml" file?
Yes.
hth,
