If you can't successfully run the jar command chances are you're probably not in the right directory, and if you aren't giving it path information to the file the jar command probably just can't find the file you're trying to unjar.
I wrote up some instructions for the EAR deployment here that may help a bit: http://mattwoodward.com/blog/index.cfm?mode=entry&entry=288A9AE3-3048-2950-E06AC9A4628DA7A8 The WAR deployment is a lot easier, however, so I'd go with that installation type if I were you. I just thought maybe those instructions would give you some insight about the command line stuff. I've been meaning to write up some annotated WAR deployment instructions but I haven't had time yet. I think since it sounds like you may have stuff in the wrong place, etc. you might just want to delete the files you've expanded and start over, following the directions very, very carefully. They really do work. I'll post again if I get a chance to do some annotated WAR instructions because this really is a much simpler procedure than the EAR deployment.
