Re: Newbie question re .war files

2001-08-25 Thread Richard Draucker

Yes, .war files are archives.  In fact they use the standard? zip 
format.  So, if Tomcat doesn't open them automatically, you can do it 
manually with any unzipping program like winzip or gzip.

 Hi,

 I'm pretty new to Tomcat and a designer not a developer so sorry if
 this is a dum one, but...


 I'm trying to get the Dreamweaver UltraDev TagLib extensions flying
 with our Tomcat 3.2.1 install.

 I've added 2 .war files to the $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps dir as per
 install notes but restarting tomcat doesn't affect them and I can't
 find (yet) any other info on what I have to do to extract them (they
 are archives right?).

 Any help would save me some grey hairs!

 TIA
 Jon

 FYI
 The whole package is from

Re: Newbie question re '.war' files

Restarting Tomcat should have expanded them into their respectively-named directories.

So if you had jon.war and restarted tomcat, there is now a web app named jon, that 
you can access by requesting http://localhost:8080/jon, providing you've got the 
default Tomcat setup locally on your machine.
