I have a tomcat server working, and there I have a webapp folder .my_web_app
I didn't deploy the project; I only have that folder of that application (as ). TOMCAT_DIR/webapps/my_web_app
What I need is a WAR file. How can I create a file from this webapp?.war
You can create .war file back from your existing folder.
Using this command
cd /to/your/folder/location
jar -cvf my_web_app.war *
Its just like creating a file of your project, you can do it in several ways (from Eclipse, command line, maven).WAR
If you want to do from command line, the command is
jar -cvf my_web_app.war *
Which means, "compress everything in this directory into a file named my_web_app.war" (c=create, v=verbose, f=file)
