For folks outside of JavaEE, its common to deploy jars though. I have never run the software that takes .wars.

- KenCochrane 14y agoYou deployed jars for web applications? War files are not JavaEE, you might be thinking of EAR files. A war file is just a jar file with a different name and manifest, and expects a few things, WEB-INF directory with a web.xml and that is about it. More info can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WAR_file_format_(Sun) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WAR_file_format_(Sun)
- swah 14y agoSorry for my mistake, I associate WAR files with Application containers like JBoss and (IIRC) Tomcat. I only deployed with embedded jetty :)
