vijay

Here is the sample script, U can use this script to build war file:
Change the following before running the script:
WebAppDir path to the Tomcat webapps directory
AppsName value to ur Project Name ie Ajax to diff name.
basedir - Give webapps dir of ur src files.
<project default="build" basedir=".">
<target name="build">
<tstamp/>
     <property name="WebAppsDir" value="c:\Tomcat\webapps"/>
<property name="AppsName" value="Ajax"/>
     <delete dir="${WebAppsDir}\${AppsName}"/>
<delete file="${WebAppsDir}\${AppsName}.war"/>
<jar jarfile="${WebAppsDir}/${AppsName}.war"
          basedir="D:\eclipse\AjaxEx\webapps"
includes="**" />
</target>
</project>
Once you run this file. It will create war file in the webapps dir of ur tomcat.
Bye,

How to deploy WAR file in tomcat.?

Can anybody please provide step by step information of deploying war file to Jakarta tomcat without IDE.
I am working on Windows XP with jakarta tomcat 4.1.30.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Aman Aggarwal

See if tomcat runs as a service in your operating system. If you can locate it, you can set the start type to automatic. A very crud way is to run the tomcat startup file from autoexe.bat.
I don't know how to do this in Linux. Here is a link for tomcat 6. Maybe it is the same in tomcat 4

Background
Before describing how to organize your source code directories, it is useful to examine the runtime organization of a web application. Prior to the Servlet API Specification, version 2.2, there was little consistency between server platforms. However, servers that conform to the 2.2 (or later) specification are required to accept a Web Application Archive in a standard format, which is discussed further below.
A web application is defined as a hierarchy of directories and files in a standard layout. Such a hierarchy can be accessed in its "unpacked" form, where each directory and file exists in the filesystem separately, or in a "packed" form known as a Web ARchive, or WAR file. The former format is more useful during development, while the latter is used when you distribute your application to be installed.
The top-level directory of your web application hierarchy is also the document root of your application. Here, you will place the HTML files and JSP pages that comprise your application's user interface. When the system administrator deploys your application into a particular server, he or she assigns a context path to your application (a later section of this manual describes deployment on Tomcat). Thus, if the system administrator assigns your application to the context path /catalog, then a request URI referring to /catalog/index.html will retrieve the index.html file from your document root.
Standard Directory Layout
To facilitate creation of a Web Application Archive file in the required format, it is convenient to arrange the "executable" files of your web application (that is, the files that Tomcat actually uses when executing your app) in the same organization as required by the WAR format itself. To do this, you will end up with the following contents in your application's "document root" directory:
* *.html, *.jsp, etc. - The HTML and JSP pages, along with other files that must be visible to the client browser (such as JavaScript, stylesheet files, and images) for your application. In larger applications you may choose to divide these files into a subdirectory hierarchy, but for smaller apps, it is generally much simpler to maintain only a single directory for these files.
* /WEB-INF/web.xml - The Web Application Deployment Descriptor for your application. This is an XML file describing the servlets and other components that make up your application, along with any initialization parameters and container-managed security constraints that you want the server to enforce for you. This file is discussed in more detail in the following subsection.
* /WEB-INF/classes/ - This directory contains any Java class files (and associated resources) required for your application, including both servlet and non-servlet classes, that are not combined into JAR files. If your classes are organized into Java packages, you must reflect this in the directory hierarchy under /WEB-INF/classes/. For example, a Java class named com.mycompany.mypackage.MyServlet would need to be stored in a file named /WEB-INF/classes/com/mycompany/mypackage/MyServlet.class.
* /WEB-INF/lib/ - This directory contains JAR files that contain Java class files (and associated resources) required for your application, such as third party class libraries or JDBC drivers.
When you install an application into Tomcat (or any other 2.2/2.3-compatible server), the classes in the WEB-INF/classes/ directory, as well as all classes in JAR files found in the WEB-INF/lib/ directory, are made visible to other classes within your particular web application. Thus, if you include all of the required library classes in one of these places (be sure to check licenses for redistribution rights for any third party libraries you utilize), you will simplify the installation of your web application -- no adjustment to the system class path (or installation of global library files in your server) will be necessary.
Much of this information was extracted from Chapter 9 of the Servlet API Specification, version 2.3, which you should consult for more details.
Shared Library Files
Like most servlet containers, Tomcat 5 also supports mechanisms to install library JAR files (or unpacked classes) once, and make them visible to all installed web applications (without having to be included inside the web application itself. The details of how Tomcat locates and shares such classes are described in the Class Loader HOW-TO documentation. For the purposes of our discussion, there are two locations that are commonly used within a Tomcat 5 installation for shared code:
* $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib - JAR files placed here are visible both to web applications and internal Tomcat code. This is a good place to put JDBC drivers that are required for both your application and internal Tomcat use (such as for a JDBCRealm).
* $CATALINA_BASE/shared/lib - JAR files placed here are visible to all web applications, but not to internal Tomcat code. This is the right place for shared libraries that are specific to your application.
Out of the box, a standard Tomcat 5 installation includes a variety of pre-installed shared library files, including:
* The Servlet 2.4 and JSP 2.0 APIs that are fundamental to writing servlets and JavaServer Pages.
* An XML Parser compliant with the JAXP (version 1.2) APIs, so your application can perform DOM-based or SAX-based processing of XML documents.
Web Application Deployment Descriptor
The description below uses the variable name $CATALINA_HOME to refer to the directory into which you have installed Tomcat 5, and is the base directory against which most relative paths are resolved. However, if you have configured Tomcat 5 for multiple instances by setting a CATALINA_BASE directory, you should use $CATALINA_BASE instead of $CATALINA_HOME for each of these references.
As mentioned above, the /WEB-INF/web.xml file contains the Web Application Deployment Descriptor for your application. As the filename extension implies, this file is an XML document, and defines everything about your application that a server needs to know (except the context path, which is assigned by the system administrator when the application is deployed).
The complete syntax and semantics for the deployment descriptor is defined in Chapter 13 of the Servlet API Specification, version 2.3. Over time, it is expected that development tools will be provided that create and edit the deployment descriptor for you. In the meantime, to provide a starting point, a basic web.xml file is provided. This file includes comments that describe the purpose of each included element.
NOTE - The Servlet Specification includes a Document Type Descriptor (DTD) for the web application deployment descriptor, and Tomcat 5 enforces the rules defined here when processing your application's /WEB-INF/web.xml file. In particular, you must enter your descriptor elements (such as <filter>, <servlet>, and <servlet-mapping> in the order defined by the DTD (see Section 13.3).
Tomcat Context Descriptor
The description below uses the variable name $CATALINA_HOME to refer to the directory into which you have installed Tomcat 5, and is the base directory against which most relative paths are resolved. However, if you have configured Tomcat 5 for multiple instances by setting a CATALINA_BASE directory, you should use $CATALINA_BASE instead of $CATALINA_HOME for each of these references.
A /META-INF/context.xml file can be used to define Tomcat specific configuration options, such as loggers, data sources, session manager configuration and more. This XML file must contain one Context element, which will be considered as if it was the child of the Host element corresponding to the Host to which the The Tomcat configuration documentation contains information on the Context element.
Deployment With Tomcat 5
In order to be executed, a web application must be deployed on a servlet container. This is true even during development. We will describe using Tomcat 5 to provide the execution environment. A web application can be deployed in Tomcat by one of the following approaches:
* Copy unpacked directory hierarchy into a subdirectory in directory $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/. Tomcat will assign a context path to your application based on the subdirectory name you choose. We will use this technique in the build.xml file that we construct, because it is the quickest and easiest approach during development. Be sure to restart Tomcat after installing or updating your application.
* Copy the web application archive file into directory $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/. When Tomcat is started, it will automatically expand the web application archive file into its unpacked form, and execute the application that way. This approach would typically be used to install an additional application, provided by a third party vendor or by your internal development staff, into an existing Tomcat installation. NOTE - If you use this approach, and wish to update your application later, you must both replace the web application archive file AND delete the expanded directory that Tomcat created, and then restart Tomcat, in order to reflect your changes.
* Use the Tomcat 5 "Manager" web application to deploy and undeploy web applications. Tomcat 5 includes a web application, deployed by default on context path /manager, that allows you to deploy and undeploy applications on a running Tomcat server without restarting it. See the administrator documentation (TODO: hyperlink) for more information on using the Manager web application.
* Use "Manager" Ant Tasks In Your Build Script. Tomcat 5 includes a set of custom task definitions for the Ant build tool that allow you to automate the execution of commands to the "Manager" web application. These tasks are used in the Tomcat deployer.
* Use the Tomcat Deployer. Tomcat 5 includes a packaged tool bundling the Ant tasks, and can be used to automatically precompile JSPs which are part of the web application before deployment to the server.
Deploying your app on other servlet containers will be specific to each container, but all containers compatible with the Servlet API Specification (version 2.2 or later) are required to accept a web application archive file. Note that other containers are NOT required to accept an unpacked directory structure (as Tomcat does), or to provide mechanisms for shared library files, but these features are commonly available.

How to deploye .war files in SOA_Server1 ?

Hi,
I was created Auto Generated Task form for Human Task in 11G.After that how to deploye .WAR files manually in
"Infra -Soa(Soa_srerver1)" .Plz help me now

When you auto-generated the UI it would have defaulted to creating a web app project in your application. When you deploy the BPMN process, there are three steps in the wizard:
1. Deploy Configuration
2. Task flow deployment
3. Select Server
In step 2 you can select some of all of the UI projects in the app and deploy them as part of deploying the composite. The build/deploy process will automatically create the war(s) and ear file. Once they're deployed, you can leave them un-selected to avoid redeploying them each time you just change the process definition. If you make changes to the UI, you can just select them again during deployment and select the option to overrwrite the EAR.

Deploying .war file on Tomcat 4.1?

Hi,
I would like to know whether anyone know how to deploy a .war file onto Tomcat 4.1? Or can this be done?
And what about web.xml? Is it different from a web.xml written for BEA's Weblogic Server?
Thanks

hmm.. ic
The .war file when drop in the webapps dir and u restart tomcat, it auto create a dir with your .war filename and the content of .war file is copied to there.
Am i rite to say so?
And wat about the web.xml?
If i need to add users and password how can I accomplished it in tomcat web.xml?
Last but not least, thanks for taking the time to reply. :D

An issue of deploying war file on tomcat 5.5

Hi,
I know the regular process to deply a war file is like this - stop tomcat server, remove your previous war file and directory, say abc.war and dir abc, copy your new version abc.war into webapps and restart tomcat server.
However, I found an interesting issue today - I was deploying a new release war file as described. While I stopped tomcat, removed all previous version direcotry, and restarted tomcat server, I got an http 404 error saying that the resource /abc/ is not available. I noticed that the org folder was not generated at work/Catalina/locahost/abc.
I stuck there for a long time to try to fix but did not find a solution. I am pretty sure the war file should be ok since it works fine on my local machine. This only happened in the unix box. Later, occasionally, I removed the director abc without stopping the tomcat server. In another word, I removed the war file while tomcat is still running. A new abc directory was created soon and now it works.
Anyone has any idea about that? Thanks!
Michael

Any thoughts? Thanks

I am working in windows 7 and I am trying to enable the copy/paste and I can not find user.j file in the profile and I am not real sure how to create a file, I can create a folder .

I am trying to copy text from a word document and paste it into my web builder and it says that firefox does not support copy/paste from clipboard. Went to your site and it tells me to open the user.j file in my profile. This file does not exist and I am not real sure how to create that file so I can paste the fix from your site into it.

I went to that link and added to firefox add on but it still does not work. I went to the add on option button for this but it told me that my MYSIWG widget was disabled. Does this have something to do with it not working and if so how do you enable it.

How to create txt file in utf-8?

Hi,
if i create a txt file using vb in fdm, it is created with the ansi encoding. Is there any option how to create this file in utf-8?
Thx

Forms6i uses Oracle 8.0.6 client libraries. MetaLink Note 207303.1 lists supported client/server configurations, and the last database version supported with those libraries is Oracle 9.2. The only exception is made for e-Business Suite (Oracle Applications). Therefore, you configuration is not supported.
Anyway, Oracle 8.0.6 does not support AL32UTF8 well. You should select UTF8 as the database character set (not national character set!). You need to select a check box on DBCA interface (possibly unavailable in fast/default installation path) which allows you to see non-recommended character sets.

How to create backup file on itunes for ipod touch 4g game apps data? Is there a way to do it? I want to try an app on my friend's computer, but you can't add apps on another computer without having your own ipod's data being deleted. Thx for any help!

How to create backup file on itunes for ipod touch 4g game apps data? Is there a way to do it? I want to try an app on my friend's computer, but you can't add apps on another computer without having your own ipod's data being deleted. Thx for any help!
I want to know how to create a backup file (because I'm pretty new with itunes, and it's hard to use it for me still), how to store my app data/media/videos, etc. And how I can retrieve them back when I'm done with the app I tried on my friend's computer.
If anyone can help, it'd be great! Thank you so much!

Sure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac. You should be able to set a password for it. Save it. Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer, I suppose, back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity. As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,
This handy article from Apple explains how
How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support''
don't forget to de-authorize your iMac if you don't want to play purchased stuff there
and re-authorize your new macBook Pro
time machine is an application, and should be found in the Applications folder. it is built in to OS X, so there is nothing else to buy. double click on it, get it going, choose the Hard drive in your Time capsule/Airport as your backup Time Machine and go for it. You should see a circle with an arrow on the top right hand of your screen (the Desktop), next to the bluetooth icon, and just after the wifi and eject key (looks sorta like a clock face). This will do automatic backups of your stuff.
