File Extension WAR

File type: Web Archive

The WAR file type is primarily associated with 'Java' by Sun Microsystems, Inc..

JSPs and HTTP servlets can access all services and APIs available in WebLogic Server. These services include EJBs, database connections by way of Java Database Connectivity (JDBC), Java Messaging Service (JMS), XML, and more.

A Web archive (WAR file) contains the files that make up a Web application. A WAR file is deployed as a unit on one or more WebLogic Server instances. A WAR file deployed to WebLogic Server always includes the following files:

• One servlet or Java Server Page (JSP), along with any helper classes.
• An optional web.xml deployment descriptor, which is a Java EE standard XML document that describes the contents of a WAR file.
• A weblogic.xml deployment descriptor, which is an XML document containing WebLogic Server-specific elements for Web applications.
• A WAR file can also include HTML or XML pages and supporting files such as image and multimedia files.

The WAR file can be deployed alone or packaged in an Enterprise application archive (EAR file) with other application components. If deployed alone, the archive must end with a .war extension. If deployed in an EAR file, the archive must end with an .ear extension.

When windows gives you an error message saying that it
"Cannot open WAR files", this means either:

A. You need to identify a program that can open the file
B. Or your registry may be damaged

In both cases it is strongly recommended that you
run a free scan for registry errors.
