Can I deploy a war file (as opposed to an ear)?

[bletts]

Hi all -

I'm new to JBoss, and I'm trying to figure the whole thing out. We're using JBoss 3.2.1 and Jetty, and I've been playing around with creating some simple .jsp files and packaging them into a .war.

I'd like to deploy just my .war file if possible. I can build an .ear if I need to, but I'm hoping that it's not necessary. Is it possible to just deploy the war file? If so, is it as easy as just copying it to my deploy directory? Or is there some other configuration that I need to do?

Thanks in advance.

Deploying a .war is that simple. Just drop it into the deploy directory.

But why are you still using such an old version?

Don't get me started... to put it simply, I inherited a project that has been badly managed from the start. I'd like to upgrade, but one step at a time. First, I need to learn JBoss a bit more, next I'll tell 'em why they need to upgrade.
