How to create war component from command prompt

Creating war file is a simple if you use an IDE when you are programming in J2EE applications.
Now Let's see how to create this war component using command prompt.

1. First create a folder in a directory you wish to create the .war file. I named it as HelloWar.

2. Prepare these two components inside HelloWar folder.
           1. WEB-INF folder
           2. index.html or index.jsp

3. Inside the WEB-INF folder, place the followings.
           1. lib folder
           2. classes folder
           3. jboss-web.xml
           4. web.xml.

Figure 1- jboss-web.xml

Figure 2- web.xml

4. Now it's time to go :)

So first go the folder using command prompt and then you can check the folder structure of the application.

5. Then now we are going to create .war using  jar -cvf HelloWar.war * command.

6. With the above command you add .war to the application folder. Again you can verify this.
