war file question
Hi Everyone,
I have an html file with java script embedded in it, I want to employ this
web page in the apache tomcat, can you please give me hints on how to
transfer this file into war file, I have the file in the right directory
inside the WEB-INF but it is not working, do I need to convert this file
into JSP then to war file ? I'm getting the following message
FAIL - Application at context path /handshake_testing could not be started
Thank you in advance for the feedback
Lava

Hi,
May I add something Lava, if you don't want to work around war manually use
Netbeans or Eclipse as your IDE and they can do it for you without any
effort.

1. WAR is effectively a zip archive. You create one using the "jar"
archiver program in the JDK.
http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/tools/windows/jar.html
That is: you have to prepare the files for your web application and
then "zip" them with the jar utility.
E.g. for the examples webapp that comes with Tomcat:
1) go to
$CATALINA_BASE/webapps
2) run
jar -cf examples.war -C examples .
it will pack the "examples" directory into a war file.
2. The WEB-INF and META-INF subdirectories are special. They are not
"visible" from the outside. So, you should not put your .html, or .js,
or .css or images there.
The WEB-INF directory is for configuration (the web.xml file is the
main one there) and for executable code.
You should place your web page elsewhere. Usually - at the root of your webapp.
See the ROOT application that comes with Tomcat, You will find an
index.html there.
(ROOT is the special name for the default webapp on Tomcat).
3. There should be tutorials for beginners somewhere. (One is that Pid
mentioned).
You should really go step-by-step with a one of them once.
The links to the official specifications can be found here:
http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/Specifications

There are a few misunderstandings here. A .war file is a type of zip
archive, which contains a web application.
Putting a file in a WEB-INF directory somewhere doesn't automatically
produce a web application.
I sent you the link, because it contains a series of references which
explain what a web application is: it also clearly defines the structure
of an application and how to assemble one.
It is precisely because you are a beginner that it's useful, because it
introduces concepts and gives you an example application to work with.
Maybe you could re-read that section of the site?

Hi
Thanks for the replies
Pid thanks for the link but I have looked into before sending the email and
it is very general and not very useful, as I'm a beginner user for tomcat.
Check I was deploying the file with jsp extension and I got this
message on the top of the tomcat webpage. Now I have my html file in the
WEB-INF I changed the extension to war but that didn't work as it didn't
work if I left it as html extension. it is very simple file with few lines
of java script.
Thanks

Moving the file is correct, but don't change the extension - leave it as .html; it's not a JSP.

The above is not a Tomcat message, although it may come from some auxiliary app deployed under Tomcat. Exactly what were you doing when you got the message?

most containers will not look for jsp in WEB-INF but in webapp base folder e.g. $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/WebAppFolderName
to remedy mv/rename the html files from WEB-INF over to WebAppFolderName and be sure to mv/rename *.html to *.jsp
