Desperate - How Deploy web application on Tomcat Server?
843802Apr 23 2006 — edited Apr 24 2006Sorry if my question is stupid but i really need solution to my problems. I had tried google for solution before but couldn't find satisfying answer.
I had build J2EE web application (jsp - servlet) and it was running on Tomcat 3.1 on my local PC. Everything is working fine with the configuration (xml files) all done and runable on browser.
Now i need to deploy this web application to the web hosting server and running it. How to do it? The web hosting i'm renting are not java web hosting but the admin told me he had install the java environment and the tomcat necessary to run a jsp website since i had requested it.
I had created WAR files (using jbuilder) and upload it the web hosting server on /www directory. It had become a directory now rather than a website. sigh I think i'm missing something here. I don't think i can configure anything since the cpanel at my web hosting company are mainly for html and php application. I might had to do it manually but how? I'm clueless.
Am i missing some important steps here? I read some guide found at google and though by uploading the whole WAR files to the server it should be deploy automatically and runable.
Should i try Java Web Start & JNLP files instead? The WAR files size is kinda large (50 MB).
Can anybody give me some guidance here? Some website links to tutorial or guide?
