Unpacking and Mounting a WAR File

See Also

Before you can execute an imported WAR file, you must first unpack and mount it as a web module.

To unpack and mount a WAR file:

  1. In the Filesystems tab of the Explorer, mount the directory containing the relevant WAR file, if you have not already done so.
  2. Right-click the icon for the WAR file you wish to unpack.
  3. Choose Unpack as Web Module from the contextual menu.
  4. In the Unpack War Folder dialog box, navigate to the directory where you want the unpacked files to be stored.
  5. Click Unpack Here.

The WAR file is unpacked in the directory you specified. The directory is mounted and appears as a web module in the Filesystems tab of the Explorer. If the WAR file does not contain Java files, then any Java classes, that is, servlets and JavaBeans, are not editable when the WAR file is unpacked.
