| The Virgo Web Server 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 VWS 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 Virgo Web Server with existing web applications. |

| 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-2.0.0.*.war</code> to |
| the <code class="literal">SERVER_HOME/pickup</code> directory for hot deployment. |
| </p><p> |
| You should then see the VWS produce console output similar to the following: |
| </p><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><table border="0" summary="Note"><tr><td rowspan="2" align="center" valign="top" width="25"><img alt="[Note]" src="images/note.gif"></td><th align="left">Note</th></tr><tr><td align="left" valign="top"><p>The console output has been reformatted to fit this document.</p></td></tr></table></div><pre class="programlisting"> |

| For WARs, the default web context path is the name of the WAR file |

| specify a context path using the <code class="literal">Web-ContextPath</code> bundle |
| manifest header, which will be described in further detail later. |
