I'm very new to Eclipse, (like just downloaded it), I'm working on enhancing

side app.

I'm looking for some kind of tutorial or help from an one that knows how to
publish a java app to a TOMCAT server by using Eclipse. I know I need to end
up with some kind of WAR file, but that is about all I know.

Any help would be great !
Thanks

Jason, if you are not familiar with what a WAR file is then, you're not
really ready to use the WTP project. This project is not ready for
production use and as such will cause you more headaches than it is worth.

I'd suggest that you do some more home work and study up on Java
Server-Side programming. WAR files are a pretty basic concept. You might
want to point your browser to http://jakarta.apache.org and look at some
of the Tomcat documentation. Or check out
http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/overview.html to learn more about
Servlet, JSP and related technologies that make up a web applications.
I'd also recommend looking a http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/headservletsjsp/

Hi Jason,

While Jeff is right and the WTP project is not ready for production use,
if you are interested in evalutating our current contributions, you can
download the sample contributions and use the Getting Started guide. The
Server tools section of the IBM guide covers the creation of a web project
and starting JSPs on the server:
http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/initial-contribution/IBM/Get ting%20Started.html.

You will need to get all of the prerequisites, in addition to the
initial contributions before you can start. Again, we're not production
ready, but we welcome community participation.

Kind Regards,

Michael D. Elder
