Hi,
I know that we can deploy web applications in an instance of WAS applicaiton server, using AdminConsole, XMLConfig.sh or even WSCP. What I want to accomplish now, is to deploy a web application using the J2EE standard web.xml file. Is this possible? Has any one tried this? Thanks for all the help.

What version of WebSphere are you working with? I'm assuming 3.5, right? If so, look in the admin console's "Wizards" menu for the WAR file wizard, which will take a standard Servlet 2.2 WAR file (containgin a web.xml) and deploy it.

Kyle,
Thanks for the answer. Yes, we are using WAS 3.5.3. But, my problem is that I am not deploying the web application as a .war file. I want to deploy it as a directory structure. Is there anyway I can accomplish this?

No. Either you meet the spec (which says you have a WAR file containing a web.xml file) or you don't.

Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
