Hello,
Thanks for the reply. Thanks for the short explanation, I am assuming here
that war is the way to go for me ;) (pardon the pun)
So, that gets me to my second question, should a war created through ant or
java's war utility be able to work on any application server (certified or
not). because the .war i created worked on Tomcat and websphere out of the
box, but did not work on weblogic. shouldnt a .war work on any application
server?
Please let me know your experiences.
Thanks,
Brown.

Hi,
JARs and WARs and EARs, oh my ;)
A WebApplicationArchive (WAR) contains the files for a web application,
e.g. servlets, JSPs, static files (html, images, libraries, etc.) and so
on, as well as that web application's deployment descriptor (web.xml).
An EAR typically
contains more than a WAR in that it contains EJBs and their libraries,
information, descriptors, etc. It may also contain other,
server-specific
deployment details. It is common for an EAR file to contain one or more
WAR files. An EAR file will have the application descriptor,
application.xml.
Personally, I use Ant's WAR and EAR tasks to create those files. I'm
sure
other people have their favorites, as some IDEs have built-in support
for
this.
Hope this helps,
Yoav

Subject: Distribution of production systems??
I have an application that is ready to ship and uses basically servlets
and
JSPs. Our preferred system of choice is Tomcat/Apache, but there might
be
scenarios where customers would like to choose Websphere or BEA or
. In
this case we are considering packaging the application as a .war file
and
sending this accross.
I tried the .war file generated with BEA yesterday and it did not work
,
but
the same war file worked with Websphere Studio. So my question is what
are
the distribution methods that developers out there use to distribute
their
web applications.
2nd question is what are EAR files and how do they differ from WAR
files.
Thanks in advance.
