Howto deploy a ROOT.war (if needed)

["NG-Marketing, M.Schneider" <sc...@ng-marketing.com>]

Hello List,

 

after moving the ROOT.war file in the Tomcat5 webapps directory and
restarting Tomcat, the ROOT.war will be extracted into the ROOT directory
automatically.

 

Then, after changing as example my search.jsp and restarting the service
again, it works all fine with my new search.jsp. But, do I have to redeploy
the war-file to speed up the search-performance, and if so, how to do that?

 

Yours

Matthias

The war file is only a web archive file used for packaging. It contains the 
complete web application in one file (handy for installation and exchanging 
with other users). After the war file has been unpacked you do not need it 
any more and can even safely delete it.
