about war file

[david wolf]

I have some classes needed to put in tomcat_home\shared\classes which
is shared by several web applications. How to put these classes in a
WAR file and deploy these classes? (Is it possible to put these files
in a jar file and deply too?)

Thanks,

David

You will have to put them into a jar and deploy them there. WAR's are
for complete web applications.

My understanding is that war file can only be deployed (uncompressed)
under tomcat_home\webapps\....

As Robert said, if I put my files that are supposed to go to
tomcat_home\shared\classes into the jar file, can tomcat deploy it
automatcially (i means put it back into tomcat_home\shared\classes?)?
