Hi,
I created Dynamic Web Module (web1) and created Server project (Tomcat).
Now I have external WAR file that contains images and css that I want to use from web1.
So I decided to create another Dynamic Web Module (web2) and put the war file in this module. So when I will run Tomcat server I will see 2 web applications. and I can reference images on web2 from web1.
The problem is that the WAR file is not exploded in: .metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core\tmp0\wtpwebap ps\web2
The folder looks like this:
META-INF
WEB-INF
images.war
So I can't reference to web2 files.
Is there a way to tell tomcat to explode the WAR file?
Maybe there is better solution, instead of creating Dynamic Web Module for the WAR file.
Thanks in advance

WTP doesn't support the use case of treating a war file as if it were a
project. If you create a dynamic web project from the war, WTP can
deploy it for you. If not a dynamic web project, then you will have to
handle the deployment yourself. If auto-deployment is still enabled,
you could simply drop the war in the
"org.eclipse.wst.server.core/tmp?/webapps" folder and let Tomcat do its
normal auto-deployment.
Cheers,
Larry
