# technosf-archetype-ewar #
**Executable Web Archive** (*.war*) files are incredibly handy - deploy your web application via them to Java Web Application servers, or just execute them directly as you would a **Java Archive** (*.jar*) file:
java -jar myapplication.war
This project builds _Maven Archetypes_ that generate **executable war files** with a sample application that you can build off. Generating a Maven Project from a _technosf-archetype-ewar_ archetype will deliver a dynamic web application combined with an embedded _Eclipse Jetty_ web application server.

## How Does An Executable Web Archive Work? ##
**.jar** files can be execute directly with the _java -jar_ command. This is achieved by following a standard archive layout and by including a manifest that specifies a _main_ class to execute.
**.war** files are deployed for execution within web application servers that expect the archive to follow a standard layout and to including specific deployment descriptors.
An **executable .war** file is a _.war_ file which has had an _embedded web application server_ included in it using the *executable .jar* layout. By executing the *.war* file with the _java -jar_ command, the embedded web application server starts up, explodes the _.war_ it is contained in and runs the contained web application.
## Installation ##
Download the _archetype_ for the version of Jetty you wish to use. Generate a project with the command:
mvn install:install-file technosf-archetype-ewar-9.3_8.5.jar
## Components ##
* **technosf-archetype-ewar** archetypes are built utilizing the **Eclipse Jetty** web application server
* _JSP_'s are compiled with **Apache Tomcat Jasper**
* _JSTL standard libraries_ are included
* _JQuery_ core, cookies and template are included
