I want to convert WAR file to exe file , in order to run the application as standalone application

Is there any process to do this ???

You can't do that! You need to get your fundamentals clear on this. Just as you can't run a Java application without a JRE, you can't run a web application without a proper environment which is provided by the container.

EDIT: As for WARs, it's basically a JAR which is basically a ZIP file. So it's not a compiled executable as you might be mistakenly assuming; it's simply a zipped archive with a different extension. You can easily extract it's contents and you'll see that it's all the same stuff that you put into a web-apps directories; your libraries, your compiled classes, JSPs, HTML pages etc.

As Tarun Yadav has correctly stated.
A Java web application is, essentially, a plugin component to a Java Application Server and can not be deployed as a standalone application.

If you wanted that, you probably shouldn't have written it as a web app.
Why didn't you use Swing?
