Hi there,

I have created the 5 minutes Xtext example with web support.
I can run it from the windows terminal with the command "gradlew jettyRun".
The example is working as expected, by opening the browser in localhost:8080.
The question is:
Is there any jar/war file(for this single project) automatically produced by gradle, that i can use to run it in an apache server( tomcat for example)?

Thanks

Am not sure If I get you
In a Server you typically want to create a war
The new Xtext project wizard should already create everything needed

Hi Christian,

so you mean that a war file is already produced after building the project with Gradle. I have searched in the folder project and found in the build forlder a war file (something like snapshot~1.war) but it is a few Kilobytes in size.
Also i build another xtext project with a filesize above 50MB, and the extracted war file is also a few KB.
Is this the correct war file that i am looking for the tomcat server?
Could you please correct me if i am wrong?

Yes you are right,

after clean build i get "org.xtext.example.mydsl.web-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.war" with a size of 25MB. (That's the 5 minutes project from xtext web site)
The think is that after deploying the war file in tomcat as shown in picture below

i get an HTTP status 404 - not found

the tomcat service is running on port 8080
Are there some dependencies missing or this approach is totally wrong ?

I don't see any picture
The question is that the default url for tomcat is
When you deploy a war

http://localhost:8080/org.xtext.example.mydsl.web-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT/ at least seems to show the editor
besides that you may have to check logs and or remote debug to see what is happening
