Using a .war file

hi,
i am trying to run a ready example that has a ( .war )extension, can any one help me in this regard and tell me how can i get to run that examle using sun java creator?
best regards,
sssnbj

Creator does not take war files.
Assuming you want to deploy the war fil to the bundled application server:
* Find the Servers window/pane
* Right click on the Deployment Server node -> Show Admin Console (The AppServer has to be running)
* A browser should open
* Log in with admin/adminadmin as username/pssword
* Find the Applications/Web-Applications node and there you should be ale to deploy your war file.
I hope that helps,

Deploying WAR file using IAS Test Drive edition...

Hi:
Is it okay to deploy a build using a WAR file instead of an EAR file? Is
there any documentation for deploying WAR files? All the available docs and
examples start with EAR files.
Thanks,
George

Hi,
A war file is okay if you are using servlets & JSP, WAR means Web Archive.
So you can very well go ahead with a war file, incase you are thinking of EJB's
then a .ear file will help you.

Error message when deploying war file to sun web server 6.1

i've been trying to deploy an application developed locally in tomcat to a local install of sun web server 6.1, and can't seem to get it to work. the error message i am getting now is:
[05/Dec/2008:12:44:08] config ( 1640): for host xxx.xxx.xxx.xx trying to GET /cart/index.jsp, handle-processed reports: HTTP2205: The request method is not applicable to the requested resource.
but that is the only error showing up. i've found some other forum topics involving memory issues (not the case here) and mime.type issues (not the case here), but nothing where this is the only error message showing up.
any ideas? anyone?

I deployed the application using a WAR file I created and the Server Manager.
I've been able to get a JSP running in the $INSTALL_DIR/docs directory (database connectivity, result set printing, session data storing) but not outside of there.
I switched to "finest" error reporting, but that isn't really helping much either.
I even deployed one of the sample WAR files that came with the installation (webapps-simple.war), and it failed too, the error message I got was:

War files and configuration files

Hi,
I'm trying to deploy servlets using a WAR file. Everything works fine except I can't read the configuration files from the servlet code.
The code reading the configuration file is as follows:
input = ClassLoader.getSystemResourceAsStream("test.properties");
properties.load(input);
Of course this code assumes that the file "test.properties" is in the class path.
Where should I put the property file in the WAR file so that it is in the class path?
If this can�t be done, how should I structure my code around this problem?
I�m using Tomcat 3.2�
Thank you very much

I haven't had any trouble accessing properties files in the WEB-INF\classes using the following...
public class MyAnchor
     private static Properties properties = new Properties();
     static
          URL url = MyAnchor.class.getResource("mywebapp.properties");
          try
          properties.load(url.openStream());
          catch(Exception e)
          e.printStackTrace();
public static final String PROP_CONSTANT_1 = properties.getProperty("prop_constant_1");
But I have now run into problems when trying to create a WAR file with the J2EE Deploy Tool, which will only allow *.class files to sit in the WEB-INF\classes directory.
I'll be really annoyed if I have to change the properties file name to mywebapp.class just to get around this problem.
Has anyone else found this?? I know I can add the *.props manually, but again would prefer not to.
I'm hoping its only a J2EE problem and deploying to other servers will not have this requirement.

Redeploying WAR files

Up until now, the application that I work on is manually deployed, that is to say, we don't use a WAR file. We just create the correct WEB-INF directory structure manually. While obviously a lot more work, it allows us to 'upgrade' to a newer build by simply uploading a new jar file containing the app core, and a restart of the appserver worked.
However, the app is currently in the process of an overhaul, and as part of this, we're changing to WAR deployment. The problem I'm facing now, is that some deployments are regularly updated - When deployed, the application goes through it's 'initialisation' routine, where it asks for various bits of information, such as database connection parameters, and saves those config options in a file under WEB-INF, so on next reload, it can get those params. However, if I use WAR deployment, those parameters are lost, as the appdir is replaced. It's not going to be of any use if the person deploying has to re-enter all parameters on re-deployment. I know you could say that the web.xml could be edited, and the parameters stored there via standard param-name/value entries, but again, that makes in unpractical for deployment for various machines.
Is there some standard appserver feature that I don't know about that allows local data persistence? I've looked up various books, and sites (though, it's difficult to find, since I don't know what to search for) but I'm not having much luck, the word 'persistence' simply results in pages telling me to manually enter db params in web-inf, and storing my config there.
Thanks in advance,
Barry

Deploy war file developed by rational to tomcat 5.5

i've developed an application using rational application developer then exported it to war file
then i want to deploy this war file to tomcat server
could someone help me!!!
thanx in advance

If it's a standard WAR file, properly done, just drop it in the Tomcat /webapps directory and start up Tomcat. Use the WAR file name as the context.

Upload a WAR file in Tomcat 4.1.18.Please help

Hello there
i have installed Jakarta 4.1.18 and after installing this,
I am saying http://localhost:8080 and there is the admin
screen.
How do I upload the WAR URL?
I am shown 3 options
Path : Config URL: WAR URL : [Intall button]
does any one know this?

war files are the zip files with war extention..
and has all dir structure build inside i.e.
WEB-INF/classes
WEB-INF/web.xml
WEB-INF/lib
etc.
I'm puting this details here cause I'm bit confuse after reading ur details ...
U are saying
"c:>SymbianTest
which contains the Wap.war
Folder WEB-INF under SymbianTest
which has the web.xml file "
well if ur war file is right build ...u can use 'upload war file'utility of tomcat manager.
Browse ur war file and then click install..
Tomcat will extract the war file and will install the application under wabapps dir of tomcat...

Deploying a WAR file containing .jsp and servlets (also uses JNI)

Deploying a WAR file containing .jsp and servlets (also uses JNI) on Windows 2000
We had problems making it initially work on Sun ONE Web Server 6.0 Service Pack 1 because of lack of good iPlanet Web
Server documentation on deploying such files.
This is how we went about it:
1) Make one of the servlet and JSP (must call another Java Class) web application (.war) examples work with iPlanet Web
Server.
C:\iPlanet\Servers\plugins\servlets\examples\web-apps\HelloWorld\HelloWorld.war
and
C:\iPlanet\Servers\plugins\servlets\examples\web-apps\jakarta-examples\jarkarta-examples.war
a) Go to your Web Server Administration to deploy the application using GUI Web Application Deploy.
(We usually use command line, we experienced some issues with the GUI version, but maybe it is fixed in the new Web Server
service packs)
From browser, open http://yourserver:8888/
Click on Select a Server:Manage
Click on Virtual Server Class
Click on https-yourserver
Click on the Web Applications Tab
Then, click on Deploy Web Application
Enter the following -
WAR File On: Local
WAR File Path: C:\iPlanet\Servers\plugins\servlets\examples\web-apps\jakarta-examples\jarkarta-examples.war
Application URI: /jakarta
Installation Directory: c:\iPlanet\examples\jakarta-examples
By clicking on OK it deployed the application.
I can verify that it is deployed by selecting "Edit Web Applications" and I see the following entry:
Edit     /jakarta     c:/iPlanet/examples/jakarta-examples
Also, c:/iPlanet/examples/jakarta-examples should have the similar following directory structure ..
- [images]
- [jsp]
- index.html
- [servlets]
- [META-INF]
- [WEB-INF]
- [classes]
- [tlds]
- web.xml
- index.html
I restarted the server and accessed it using the following URL from my IE browser:
http://yourserver/jakarta/index.html
Then I clicked on the JSP Examples and tried some JSP examples.
b) Alternatively, you can also deploy the same example from the command-line.
Make sure C:\iPlanet\Servers\bin\https\httpadmin\bin\ is in your path
wdeploy deploy      -u /jakarta
          -i yourserver
          -v https-yourserver
          -d c:\iplanet\examples\jakarta-examples
          C:\iPlanet\Servers\plugins\servlets\examples\web-apps\jakarta-examples\jarkarta-examples.war
Restart the web server (I don't think you have to restart, but .. might as well).
2)Deploy your web-application
My Foo.war has the following structure.
You can use jar tf Foo.war to look at the file contents from command line (assuming you have JDK installed and the bin is
in your PATH)
Foo.war
- [META-INF]
- [WEB-INF]
- web.xml
- [classes]
- Bar.class
- MoServlet.class
- [lib]
- ThirdParty.jar
- [natlib]
- extlib.dll
- foo.jsp
Here is our application scenario:
foo.jsp uses a class call Bar (it is not in any package). The Bar java class uses classes from ThirdParty.jar. The
ThirdParty.jar in turn uses JNI to load library extlib.dll. foo.jsp also calls /servlet/Mo as well.
Now to deploy it, do the following:
(a) Make sure that within foo.jsp, you import the Bar class ( I don't know why you have to do it, but if you don't you get
JSP compile error).
<%@page language="java" import="Bar" contentType="text/html"%>
(b) Check web.xml (for Servlets)
Within web.xml, make sure you have the following mappings:
<servlet>
<servlet-name> MoLink </servlet-name>
<servlet-class> MoServlet </servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name> MoLink </servlet-name>
<url-pattern> /servlet/Mo </url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
(c) Deploy the application
Using command line:
wdeploy deploy      -u /foo
          -i yourserver
          -v https-yourserver
          -d c:\iplanet\examples\foo-dir
          Foo.war
(d) Change web-apps.xml file (for picking up ThirdParty.jar)
It is located in
C:\iPlanet\Servers\https-yourserver\config
You should see something similar to following after successful deployment.
<web-app uri="/foo" dir="C:\iPlanet\examples\foo-dir" enable="true"/>
Change it to look like following to pick up the ThirdParty.jar
<web-app uri="/foo" dir="C:\iPlanet\examples\foo-dir" enable="true">
<class-loader reload-interval="300"
          classpath="C:/iPlanet/examples/foo-dir/WEB-INF/lib/ThirdParty.jar"
          delegate="false"/>
</web-app>
(e) Change jvm12.conf file (for JNI)
It is located in
C:\iPlanet\Servers\https-yourserver\config
Add or uncomment the following lines:
#optional - just helps with instrumenting the jsp and servlet code
jvm.include.CLASSPATH=1
jvm.enableDebug=1
nes.jsp.enabledebug=1
jvm.trace=7
jvm.verboseMode=1
#required for JNI
java.compiler=NONE
jvm.classpath=.;C:\JDK1.3.1\lib\tools.jar;C:/iPlanet/Servers/plugins/servlets/examples/legacy/beans.10/SDKBeans10.jar;
jvm.option=-Xrs
jvm.option=-Xnoagent
# not sure if this is needed for iPlanet web server
jvm.option=-Djava.library.path=C:/iPlanet/examples/foo-dir/natlib/ -Djava.compiler=NONE
(f) Change magnus.conf file (for JNI)
We HAD to change this file in order for ThirdParty.jar file to pick up the native C++ code using JNI. Apparently, the
iPlanet Web Server doesn't pick the Environment Variable Path. Because when we had the directory containing the DLL just
in Path, it didn't work.
Change Extrapath directive:
ExtraPath C:/iPlanet/Servers/bin/https/bin;${NSES_JRE_RUNTIME_LIBPATH}
to
ExtraPath c:/iPlanet/examples/foo-dir/natlib;C:/iPlanet/Servers/bin/https/bin;${NSES_JRE_RUNTIME_LIBPATH}
(g) Apply changes from the Web Server Administration Console and Restart the web server.
You should be able to see the behaviour that you want from your application.
http://yourserver/foo/foo.jsp
Hope this was helpful!!!

in Path, it didn't work.
Change Extrapath directive:
ExtraPath C:/iPlanet/Servers/bin/https/bin;${NSES_JRE_RUNTIME_LIBPATH}
to
ExtraPath c:/iPlanet/examples/foo-dir/natlib;C:/iPlanet/Servers/bin/https/bin;${NSES_JRE_RUNTIME_LIBPATH}
(g) Apply changes from the Web Server Administration Console and Restart the web server.
You should be able to see the behaviour that you want from your application.

Error while deploying war file using JRUN JMC

Hi,
I am getting "Deployment service failed to deploy war file" Error
while trying to deploy a war file using JRUN Mgmt console.
If anyone has any idea about it, please help.
Thanks
Jit

Check the logs. There might be a detailed exception in it. My guess is that it might have something to do with the deployment descriptors.
If you could post the deployment descriptors and the exception stack trace, it would be easier to figure out.

Unable to deploy a simple servlet using WAR file on Oracle9iAS v9.0.3

Hi All,
I am facing problem while deploying a simple servlet using WAR file on Oracle 9i App Server.
I have installed Oracle9iAS J2EE and Web Cache v9.0.3 on Windows 2000 server.
It includes:
     - Oracle HTTP Server
     - Oracle9iAS Containers for J2EE
     - Oracle9iAS Web Cache
     - Oracle Enterprise Manager
The release of installed Oracle9iAS is Release 2 (9.0.3)
I referred following link to Deploy Applications Using WAR file:
     http://otn.oracle.com/products/ias/daily/sept12.html
As mentioned in this documentation I have followed following steps to deploy WAR file:
1] I have created a war file by name SimpleServlet.war. In SimpleServlet.war, there is a servlet by name Simple which prints time at which servlet was accessed.
2] I have modified <ora9ias_home>\j2ee\home\config\application.xml and added following web module entry:
     <web-module id="SimpleServlet" path="../../home/applications/SimpleServlet.war" />
3] To make this module accessible from over the web, I have modified file
     <ora9ias_home>\j2ee\home\config\default-web-site.xml and added following entry:
     <web-app application="SimpleServlet" name="SimpleServlet" root="/SimpleServlet"/>
4] I saved both the files and started Oracle HTTP Server and accessed page as below:
          http://<server>:7777/SimpleServlet/Simple
where Simple is servlet in SimpleServlet.war file.
In the browser, The page cannot be found is shown to user. I have verified that SimpleServlet.war is extracted to SimpleServlet folder under <ora9ias_home>\j2ee\home\applications folder. I found that Simple.class is stored under WEB-INF/classes folder and web.xml contains correct entry for url pattern for servlet Simple.
What else could be the problem? Am I placing the war file in wrong place or modifying application.xml or default-web-site.xml in a wrong directory?
This is very urgent. Please help me with your valuable comments on this.
Thanks in advance.

Sandesh

Regards,
SandeshHave you restarted you http server and then tried to load it again? Are you using the right port; maybe you have to use port 7778? Check you server settings in the http server instance. Also check your url binding of you application at Farm > Application Server: infrastructurehost > OC4J_instance > Application: appname > Web Module: modulename
Good luck!

JSP precompilation and my .java files compilation issues / building WAR file using ANT

Hello.
I am new to working with WAR files and the whole process of it. A little
background on what we are using. We are using, WLS 6.1 SP3. I am using the
ant.bat that is supplied in the bin directory of the WLS install.
I am trying to work with ANT and getting it to build the file. I am making
progress, but at a point where I am having trouble getting my java code
files to compile using ant. I am having one issue and looking to do one
other item.
1) I would like to precompile the JSPs if possible prior to putting into the
WAR file. Not sure if this is done or not, but there was a utility when I
was working with ibm's app server that gave us the ability to do a batch
complile. Was thinking that maybe a similair concept is possibly here.
2) Having issue getting ant to compile code properly. In the compile
section of the build.xml file for ant, I tell it where the source files are,
and the destionation folder for the compiled class files. I then try to set
the classpath so that it finds the .jar files that are necessary for my
source files to complile. But, it won't find them. And not sure how come.
I may be going about this all wrong, but dont know. Here is the compile
section of the build.xml I am using:
<target name="compile" depends="prepare">
<javac srcdir="classes" destdir="${deploy.home}/WEB-INF/classes"
classpath="$(lib.home)"
debug="on" optimize="on" deprecation="off"/>
</target>
One note, I've tried many different items in the classpath line, which
don't work. if I do *.jar it fails at complie time, invalid argument. As
well as if I use *.* and so on. if I list the explicit file names, it still
doesn't seem to find them.
I was wondering if anyone could help, if you need anymore information let me
know, I can send the entire build.xml if necessary. I may be missing
items, seeing that this is my first try at using ANT.
Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance. Hopefully not sounding too
off the wall. Hopefully get some clarification and understanding.
Thank you.
Kevin.

http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs70/jsp/reference.html#57794
or just set the precompile flag in weblogic.xml
You can configure WebLogic Server to precompile your JSPs when a Web
Application is deployed or re-deployed or when WebLogic Server starts up
by setting the precompile parameter to true in the <jsp-descriptor>
element of the weblogic.xml deployment descriptor.

maybe because you are not using curly braces there on lib.home??
if you do it the way above, you would have to list all your jars
classpath="$(lib.home)\lib1.jar:$(lib.home)\lib2.jar"
or you can nest
<javac srcdir="classes" destdir="${deploy.home}/WEB-INF/classes"
debug="on" optimize="on" deprecation="off">
     <classpath>
          <fileset dir="${lib.home}" includes="*.jar" />

How to Redeploy application in OC4J using war file

Hi
Am new in area of 9ias and OC4J.
I have deployed and application in OC4J of 9ias 902. using enterprise manager web interface.
now i have change the contents of current jsp and added more jsp files.
do i have to recreate war file and redeploy it in oc4j? or just copy the new version of current jsp and copy new jsp in application forlder.
in case of redeploying , exterprise manager web interface asks for .ear file.
can anyone give some hint to me... it will great help
thanks

Yes you have to rebuild the WAR file. You can deploy WAR from EMWebsite by using the deploy WAR link. If you are in development and your WAR/EAR file is constantly changing you can use standalone OC4J.

Cannot make .war file using tomcat with eclipse and ant

i have made all necesary configuration for deploying application using eclipse and ant for the tomcat server.
when i start the server by clicking the tomcat icon on eclipse toolbar, the message is prompted that "missing application web.xml and using defaults". i have placed the web.xml file in the web/WEB-INF directory of the source project directory.
also when i use ant by right-clicking on the build.xml file and choose Run as ant.. the process creates a desired .war file in webapps folder of the tomcat server but that war file does not works.
where is the error i cannot figure out.

So is context.xml actually overwriting the settings found in server.xml?I think so. The way I understand it is the the context.xml file saves you from having to edit server.xml. It is preferred for each web app to do its own config, rather than lumping them all together in server.xml.
And what would be the best way to create the war file? IAt its heart, a WAR is just a zip file with its contents laid out in according to the specification of a web application directory structure.
So the simplest way to make a war file is to zip up your directory structure with a tool like winzip, and rename it to be myApp.war.
Regarding ant, I would recommend you take a look through [url http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/appdev/index.html
]this tutorial. It explains the basics of website layout, configuration and deployment.
On [url http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/appdev/source.html] this page in particular, it includes a link to a basic ant file that you can use as a starting point.
