Sun Application server and .war

[TT]

Hello
I have to do simple application for school using j2ee ( servlets + jsp)
I have Eclipse with lomboz plugin and jboss serwer. Eclipse is creating
a .war witch is working properly under jboss. The problem is that this
should work under Sun Application Server too. When I'm trying to make a
deploy i got a message that .war is incorrect and error
java.lang.NullPointException.
How can I create .war which will be working under Sun App.....??

Verifier returned me that:

I dug this up for another person having trouble with the Sun server. No one
here seems to have much experience with it (at least, nobody else answered
the other question.) They do have a support forum:

Using the DeployTool supplied with the Sun Application Server to
create the war file does the trick for me. The instructions aren't
easily understood (make sure you create an alias, or it won't work -
something which seems not to be said in the instructions in the
Application Server tutorial), but once you have the hang of it it's
not difficult.

Why supposedly standard files are different on different platforms is
one of those things. At least the WAR standard separates the platform
dependant part from the rest in a standard way.
