Hi Javier Torreblanca Beltran

I got your contact informatino from the JBOSS Forum at http://www.jboss.org/modules/bb/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=forums/ have some question with reference to your Reply in the above forum.

You had given very details information of how to execute JSP and Servlet files. THANKS for that.
With refernce to Servlet portion of the reply I have some questions:
1)Why is package com.servlet needed?
2)Where do I create WEB-INF directory?
3)Where do I create META-INF directory? What are these directories for?
4)Where do I execute the JAR commands ofr WAR and EAR?

Thanks!

Manoj,
Here is the answers:

1)Why is package com.servlet needed?

I only use the com.servlet package because I want to structure my application. You can create your servlet class without package.

For the next questions, let me to say you something:

You need to follow the JSP/Servlet specification because Sun Microsystems defines standards, and EAR Structure (Enterprise Archive), WAR Structure (Web Archive) and JAR Structure (Java Archive) belong to that specification.

The JAR file contents your EJB classes and XML configuration files.

The WAR file contents your JSP, Servlets and XML configuration files.

The EAR file contents your JAR file, WAR file and XML configuration files.

The subdirectory structure is

MyApp /
META-INF /
application.xml
src /
-your java source code (EJB and servlets)
-your java classes (bytecodes) (EJB and Servlets) with their package structure
META-INF /
ejb-jar.xml
jboss.xml
WEB-INF /
classes /
your java classes (bytecodes) (EJB and Servlets) with their package structure


JSP files

For example :


JSP project.


MyApp /
uno.war
uno.ear
src /
uno.jsp
uno.war
META-INF /
application.xml


Servlet project

MyApp /
dos.war
dos.ear
src /
Dos.java
dos.war
com /
servlet /
Dos.class
WEB-INF /
classes /
web.xml
com /
servlet /
Dos.class
META-INF /
application.xml

2)Where do I create WEB-INF directory?

See the before explanation.

3)Where do I create META-INF directory? What are these
directories for?

See the before explanation. Note: There are two META-INF subdirectories. The first one contents ejb-jar.xml and jboss.xml. The second one contents application.xml. You use ejb-jar.xml and jboss.xml files when you have Enterprise Beans.
The META-INF subdirectory and WEB-INF subdirectory content XML configuration files and bytecodes(EJB and Servlets) of your system.

4)Where do I execute the JAR commands ofr WAR and EAR?

- When you create your JAR file you need change to directory

MyApp\src

- When you create your WAR file you need change to directory

MyApp\src

- When you create your EAR file you need change to directory

MyApp

and copy the JAR file and WAR file to MyApp subdirectory.

You can to automate this building process using Ant.

Regards

Javier.

Manoj,
I saw my last reply and I don´t see the correct subdirectories structure because the JBoss front-end eliminates the line indent.
I send you again the reply but this time I send you in attachment (Subdirectories.txt).

Javier

Thanks Javier,

These samples have been very useful. I'm glad I had marked this page.

I hope someone will put these in the quick start guide.

(1) Where is the contents of these xml files documented? I've looked in a lot of tutorials and have not found a single explanation. Most tutorials just use that deploytool which never lets you know what is going on.

(2) Where is the WEB-INF/web.xml for the JSP? I notice that when I deploy I see a message that says missing web.xml file. However, it seems to work fine. When I use the deploytool from the reference implementation it creates a web.xml file.

Thanks,
(I hope I'm not posting twice, I posted but don't see my message).

I hope this finds its way into the quick start.

(1) I notice that the JSP is missing a WEB-INF/WEB.xml file. Why?

Siegfried

Joel,
I tried to develop a very small application using the way you suggested but I am getting a Mapping Configuration error.
This is my Folder Structure C:\JBoss\server\default\deploy\
And beneath that I have a Test1 Folder where I have my Test1.JSP, so it is somewhat like:
C:\JBoss\server\default\deploy\test1\Test1.jsp
So I tried to access the Page and it does not come up. On the JBoss console I see a Mapping Configuration Error. What is this all about? I am a newbie and would really appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Krishna

step 1, write a j2ee app
step 2, put it in jboss/deploy

If you want a simple app, make a directory foo.war in jboss/deploy and put a jsp foo.jsp inside.

Your foo.jsp can have the following text :

foo

then go to http://localhost:8080/foo/foo.jsp

and you will see the message foo.

I can include these files as an attachement if you don't want to write the foo.jsp yourself.
