Anybody want to volunteer to either a) put in on the jakarta
site or b) put it on their own site? This way we can point
all these questions to this mini-HOWTO.

Yes. For a working example, see the Jakarta Struts distribution which
includes four (count'em four) WARs.

Tomcat can autoexpand WAR files, which makes them basically
plug-and-play. 

Mileage can vary with other containers though ;-).

Basic web-app question

[Dave Newton <da...@solaraccess.com>]

This may be an utterly stupid question, but since I don't have
to impress anybody (much ;) I'll ask it anyway.

Normally when I've developed a web application in another 
environment I can use sub-directories to help keep things 
clean. It appears that JSP/Servlet applications are delivered
in a WAR with a specific directory hierarchy (classes, etc.)

Can the WAR file (or a webapp in general if I deploy non-WAR)
contain a directory hierarchy, i.e., I have a site with a 
home page (main directory) and a few things off of it, then,
say, a message base (or whatever) "section" in a subdirectory,
etc.? Does that work?

Thanks!

Dave:

I temporarily put my document up at the following URL:

http://www.JAMMConsulting.com/InstallNotes/InstallTomcat3_2.txt

When I get a chance, I am going to create a section in the Reading Room
section of our web site to house this kind of stuff.

Thanks,
	Neil.

Considering how many people have asked the same questions, and
how many times myself and others have answered, I think it'd
be pretty handy to have a "go look here" link w/ actual 
instructions.

I think the project might benefit from the doc as well, maybe
slightly redone to fit in with their style.
