jar -cvf projectname.war *

Here, -c is used to create a file, -v to give rise to the verbose output and -f to define the archive file name.

The * (asterisk) symbol gives the signal that all the files of this directory (including sub directory).

Deploy the War file Here’s How?

The two methods to deploy the war file are:

1. By server console panel
2. By manually having the war file in a particular file folder of the server.

If you are willing to deploy your war file in the apache tomcat server manually, then go to the webapps directory of apache tomcat and then paste the war file here.

Now, you can access the web project using the browser.

Note*- The war file will be extracted internally by the server
