| We begin with a standard WAR deployment. |

| The VTS supports the standard Java EE WAR |
| packaging |
| and deployment format as a first-class citizen, and there |
| are many |
| benefits to deploying a standard WAR file on the |
| VTS including, |
| but not limited to: tooling |
| support, runtime error diagnostics, FFDC |
| (first failure data |
| capture), etc. |
| In addition, support for standard WAR deployment |
| provides an easy on-ramp |
| for trying out the |
| VTS with existing web applications. |
| </div><p> |
| </p><p> |
| The following screen shot displays the directory structure of the |
| Form Tags application using the standard WAR format. As you can see, |
| there is no deviation from the standard structure and layout, and as |
| you would expect, all of the web application’s third-party |
| dependencies |
| (for example: Spring, Commons Logging) are packaged as |
| JARs in |
| <code class="literal">WEB-INF/lib</code> |
| . |
| </p><p> |
| <img src="images/formtags-case-study-exploded-war.png"> |
| </p><p> |
| To deploy this application, simply copy |
| <code class="literal">dist/formtags-war-3.0.0.*.war</code> |
| to |
| the |
| <code class="literal">SERVER_HOME/pickup</code> |
| directory for hot deployment. |
| </p><p> |
| You should then see the VTS produce |
| console output similar to the following: |
| </p><div class="note" title="Note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>The console output has been reformatted to fit this document. |

| Navigate to |

| plus the web application context path, |
| which in the above case is |
| <code class="literal">formtags-war-3.0.0.RELEASE</code> |
| . Thus navigating to |
| <code class="literal">http://localhost:8080/formtags-war-3.0.0.RELEASE</code> |
| should render the sample application’s welcome page, as |
| displayed in the screen |
| shot below. |
| </p><div class="tip" title="Tip" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Tip</h3> |
| For WARs, the default web context path is the name of the WAR file |
| without the |
| <code class="literal">.war</code> |
| extension. You can optionally |
| specify a context path using the |
| <code class="literal">Web-ContextPath</code> |
| bundle |
| manifest header, which will be described in further detail |
| later. |
