creating of setup

[deep raj]

i have made an project in JSP
i used MYSQL and Dreamweaver
now i want to make setup for this project
how can i made setup ??

[Jeanne Boyarsky]

What do you mean by setup? Are you asking how you would run/deploy it?

[deep raj]

noooo it's not means deploy/run
i want to ask that how this project will works as a software
such that it can run on any computer without installing all softwares that are needed to make the project.

Well, how will your web application react if there is no MySQL database server installed? If it requires this, then you will need to make sure it is there (and contains the proper database objects, etc.).

A web application requires a web application container (like Tomcat, JBoss, etc.) in which to run. How will your application run if there is no web application container on the machine?

What configurations to the web application container will be required by your web application? For example, database resource definitions, security configurations, etc. How will these get deployed/configured?

How will the Java software get installed on the system?

Of course, after re-reading this, I think I see what you're trying to ask. Let's see if I can do better this time

Your web application should be assembled into a web application archive file (WAR). See the servlet specifications for details on how to do this.
The web application archive will be a Jar file with a .war extension.

How the War file is deployed on the server depends on the application container being used. They each have their own way to do this.

Is that what you're asking?

Please use real words when posting to the forums. Abbreviations such as "becoz" in place of "because" and "proj" instead of "project" only serve to make your posts more difficult to read and less likely to generate useful responses.

Please read this for more information.

so i want to know how it works as software...???

Interrogative sentences end with a single question mark, not 32.

i also made .war file but when i run it another pc it requires to install tomcat server to another pc....................

Sentences end with a single period, not 23 of them.

Making your posts hard to read is hardly a recipe for evoking good responses.

You seem to be getting upset when people here are just trying to help you.

First of all, software is software. I think you're using this term incorrectly. When you begin creating Java source code, it is software. When you package all the application components (Java class files, JSP files, deployment descriptor files, resource files, etc.) into a War file, you get a web application archive. But it's still all software.

Now, I don't understand your use of English very well, so I'm trying hard to understand what you want, and some of it is guess work. I hope you will forgive me if I misunderstand what you are trying to ask.

Once you create a Web Archive (.war), that is not enough to just take to your customer's machine and run. It requires many other things, not the least of which is a web application container (like JBoss, Tomcat, etc.) along with the database, and possibly other resources.

These additional components are not part of your .war file. If you don't install them, how do you think they will get installed?

If you want, you are free to create an installable package (using Install Shield, or your tool of choice) to install all these other components, but that would be a lot of work. If you only need to install your application onto one machine, I would look into installing all these prerequisites manually.

Please also read my previous posts in this thread.

I hope this will help.

Since you have a web application, you can host it yourself and have the users access it over the web. Then they don't need to install anything. To install a .war file, your customers will need a server of some sort. JSPs don't just run by themselves.
