I would use an IDE like Netbeans or Forte to get started. It will do most of this for you, including packaging the entire app into a WAR file.
Once you go through the process within the IDE it starts to make much more sense. -----Original Message----- From: James [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, August 30, 2002 11:28 AM To: Tomcat List Subject: Simple WAR files Hi, I have read the documentation for writing web applications and distributing them in WAR files, but now I am just more confused than ever. I'm looking for a simple step by step tutorial on making WAR archives and making them redistributable. I know this so far: - Directory structure; WEB-INF, WEB-INF/classes, etc and what they are used for - How to write servlets and JSPs, no worries there... So now I need to know, what are the basic steps to make a very simple, almost HelloWord.war type of application? How do I write an application descriptor, and what do I do with it to make an application WAR file? What are all the references to asking an administrator to assign a context path? (I have no administrator, only my home computer and myself!)
