Heh. As I understand it a .war is simillar to a .jar in the sense that they're both basically zip files including a specific named file (MANIFEST or simillar). In this particular case, .war is a web application archive, and contains a standard directory layout for servlet class files and jsps and config files (yay xml) etc. All in all, it's not a bad way to distribute a webapp. Certain commercial webapps are just a single .war file that you can dump in Tomcat's webapps directory and go. Tomcat then notices the new .war, unzips it, and gets on with trying to start up some time this decade :-) -- noodl --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
