Newbie question re ".war" files

[Jon Taylor <jo...@olive.co.uk>]

Hi,

I'm pretty new to Tomcat and a designer not a developer so sorry if this is
a dum one, but...


I'm trying to get the Dreamweaver UltraDev TagLib extensions flying with our
Tomcat 3.2.1 install.

I've added 2 ".war" files to the $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps dir as per install
notes but restarting tomcat doesn't affect them and I can't find (yet) any
other info on what I have to do to extract them (they are archives right?).

Any help would save me some grey hairs!

TIA
Jon

FYI 
The whole package is from
<http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/doc/ultradev4-doc/intro.html>

Yes, .war files are archives.  In fact they use the standard? zip 
format.  So, if Tomcat doesn't open them automatically, you can do it 
manually with any unzipping program like winzip or gzip.
