Regarding WAR file

[Renu Radhika]

When I am creating war file for a web application,jar file with .war extension should be created out of the say "BeerApp"or we have to create a jar file with .war extension of all the files under the the "BeerApp" and give the war name BeerApp.war?HFSJ and study kit explains these differently

[Gowher Naik]

Create .war using jar tool as shown below
c:\tomatcat\webapps\BeerApp> jar -cvf BeerAppWar.war *.*
Above command creates BeerAppWar.war file of all contents present inside c:\tomatcat\webapps\BeerApp folder.
Copy war file inside tomcat\webapps folder.
Now application name is BeerAppWar.
