War inside jar - resolved

Question

Hello,
my first post here and I hope not my last post.. I submit you the question hoping someone can help me out.
The thing is: I've got a WAR that I want to include inside a JAR, which itself consists of a Jetty embedded plus the needed jars to deploy the WAR. I'm trying to make a single jar with the one-jar utility, but after constructing the single jar and trying to use it, it reports the " java.io.FileNotFoundException" for the WAR. After searching on the forums and googling I tried to use the following code to load the war, but same problem filenotfound:
        Class cls = NovoJetty.class;
        ProtectionDomain domain = cls.getProtectionDomain();
        CodeSource source = domain.getCodeSource();
        URL url = source.getLocation();
        String sUrl = url.getPath();My question if it's possible to do this (Ive seen guys on the internet who successfully have deployed a web application with a tomcat embedded and everything inside a jar), but I can't see to get the point.
Any help in doing this? Thank you very very much.....
PS - Sorry if it's not the right forum; if it's the case I'll move it to the right one.

Answer 1

For those interested. Finally managed to get working the winstone app server. It lets you package the server and a war as a single jar file.
Take a look at: http://winstone.sourceforge.net/
