Updating Modified WARs

Once a file within a WAR is modified, the WAR itself needs to be updated with the newly modified file. Following is the procedure to update a WAR.

To Update a Modified WAR

1. Go to the directory where the WAR files are kept.

   # cd AccessManager-base/ SUNWam/war

2. Run the jar command.

   jar -uvf WARfilename.war path_to_modified_file

   The -uvf option replaces the old file with the newly modified file. For example:

   # jar -uvf console.war newfile/index.html

   This command replaces the index.html file in console.war with the index.html file located in AccessManager-base/SUNWam/newfile.

3. Delete the modified file.

   # rm newfile/index.html

   Delete the modified file.
