Hi Daniel,
Okay, maybe this is a dumb problem. I tried creating a
'MANIFEST.MF' file in the 'META-INF' directory where my .war file
was being created.
For instance, is this the right setup?
mywar/index.html
mywar/WEB-INF/web.xml
mywar/WEB-INF/classes/...
mywar/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
Every time I jar'd things up for deployment to create the .war
like this:
cd mywar
jar cvf ../mywar.war .
the MANIFEST.MF file would get ignored and a new one created
without my 'Class-Path' or anything. Is this normal?
This isn't urgent since I solved the problem by putting the
client jar files I needed into the .war file, but I'm very
curious since I spent some time on this.
Thanks!
Chris
