Hi:
Most other servlet engines extract the content of the .war file. I have
implemented an engine that use the .war file directly instead of extract the
content. However some of the users got a problem because they can't modify
the WAR easily
(Since the .war is not extracted, they have to extract the content, modify
it and put it back). Most of the time it is just the web.xml file, and
if the .war file is not extracted, the simple modification became a pain.
Also on all other eingines they can use a FileInputStream to open the
content of .war file, while if it is not extracted, that simply won;t work.
So is the extract of .war file a standard set by sun or something that
servlet developers should not assume? I didn't find anything in sun's
documention that specify how .war should be implemented, but since sun did
not provide a generic interface for compile jsp within a war file, a
non-extracted war file will need specifical attension while the extracted
ones can just pick any other implemention such as GNIJSP.
Thanks
Gang
