Take a copy of War and convert the .war to .zip file.

Now you can import .ZIP without any problem...

On NWDS , File --> Import --> ZIP

Hope this helps !!!

Thanks

Hi John,

Open the source of application.xml in the EAR project and the add the following

<module>

<web>

<web-uri>sampleweb.war</web-uri>

<context-root>sampleweb</context-root>

</web>

</module>

Replace your war file name and context root in the above snippet and add it in your application.xml as follows...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE application PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD J2EE Application 1.3//EN"

"http://java.sun.com/dtd/application_1_3.dtd">

<application>

<display-name>sample</display-name>

<description>EAR description</description>

<module>

<web>

<web-uri>sampleweb.war</web-uri>

<context-root>sampleweb</context-root>

</web>

</module>

</application>

Once you do it, your war is referred in ear and u can seperately deploy the war and ear and it will be recognized.

Hope this will solve your problem..

You may reward points if the solution helped..

Thanks and regards

Hi Deepa,

Thanks for that detail, I still donot know how to Deploy a WAR file directly to the SAP WAS 6.40.

I have also tried to change the .war ext to to .zip but it does not work, can you please suggest how to DEPLOY the WAR file directly to the Server, or how I can import and existing war file.

Best Wishes,

John.

Hi John

Just to clear your confusion , Whenever you want to deploy any web application you have to create a EAR project ( if using NWDS ) and then add the WAR project to the EAR project and deploy that EAR project

You cannot deploy a war file directly in SAP web AS

Regarding creation of the EAR , you already have this details in the previous threads

Hope this helps, please reward points for helful answers

Hi Rajesh,

Great that clears some doubts of mine, also now would have any other suggestions on importing an exisiting WAR file.

Thanks,

John.

Hi

1)You can rename the war file as a zip file

2)Create a WEB project in your NWDS

3)GO to file >Import option in ur nwds

4)Look for the Zip file option(last one)and import the zip file and check in the In To Folder: option . here it should point to your web project.

Hope this helps , <b>please mark points for helpful answers</b>

Hi John,

To deploy WAR file to J2EE WAS you need to create "Enterprise Application Project" and add your Web Application to EAR project (right click on Web project, select "Add to EAR project" from context menu).

Hello Maksim,

I have a WAR file, now I am unable to import this into my NWDS, it does not give me an option to import this WAR file, so how would I add it to an EAR project if I cant import it into NWDS, please let me know.

Thanks,

John.

Hi John,

Create web project with the same name like your WAR file. Copy your war file to root of project and repeat what I have suggested earlier.
