Can a wise hand please explain to me why jar refuses to create a .war file from my application tree. I am able to successfully copy the directory to the webapps directory and run this. Now I'm trying the .war approach. Weird.
I cd to c:/some/place/duglaDataModel and type: jar cvf c:/downloads/duglaDataModel.war . Here's the echo (not the exception) added manifest adding: DataController.as(in = 958) (out= 452)(deflated 52%) adding: duglaDataModel.mxml(in = 2378) (out= 637)(deflated 73%) adding: Employee.as(in = 391) (out= 210)(deflated 46%) adding: employees.xml(in = 468) (out= 154)(deflated 67%) adding: locations.xml(in = 225) (out= 80)(deflated 64%) adding: WEB-INF/(in = 0) (out= 0)(stored 0%) adding: WEB-INF/classes/(in = 0) (out= 0)(stored 0%) adding: WEB-INF/web.xmljava.util.zip.ZipException: attempt to write past end of STORED entry at java.util.zip.ZipOutputStream.write(ZipOutputStream.java:264) at sun.tools.jar.Main.addFile(Main.java:614) at sun.tools.jar.Main.create(Main.java:412) at sun.tools.jar.Main.run(Main.java:142) at sun.tools.jar.Main.main(Main.java:903) My directory looks like: duglaDataModel: total 7 drwx------+ 3 turner None 0 Mar 1 18:05 ./ drwx------+ 5 turner None 0 Mar 1 18:06 ../ -rwx------+ 1 turner None 958 Mar 22 2004 DataController.as* -rwx------+ 1 turner None 391 Mar 21 2004 Employee.as* drwx------+ 3 turner None 0 Mar 1 18:03 WEB-INF/ -rwx------+ 1 turner None 2378 Mar 1 14:34 duglaDataModel.mxml* -rwx------+ 1 turner None 468 Feb 25 11:20 employees.xml* -rwx------+ 1 turner None 225 Feb 25 11:19 locations.xml* duglaDataModel/WEB-INF: total 9 drwx------+ 3 turner None 0 Mar 1 18:03 ./ drwx------+ 3 turner None 0 Mar 1 18:05 ../ drwxr-xr-x+ 2 turner None 0 Mar 1 18:05 classes/ -rwx------ 1 turner None 8877 Mar 1 17:44 web.xml* duglaDataModel/WEB-INF/classes: total 0 drwxr-xr-x+ 2 turner None 0 Mar 1 18:05 ./ drwx------+ 3 turner None 0 Mar 1 18:03 ../ Cheers, Douglass Turner
