[jboss-user] [Beginners Corner] - ear file claims no meta-inf in war

Hello, new to JBoss but not really a novice with development, but cant seem to get the most basic helloworld jsp page on my JBoss server. My system setup is a Windows 2003 OS, Apache2 server, bundled with Tomcat. IIS is obviously working as well, but turned off. I have Tomcat on port 8082 and I have JBoss on port 8084. Apache, Tomcat and IIS all work fine. JBoss seems to be working fine but the book I'm using (Beginning Java EE 5: From Novice to Professional, ISBN: 1590594703) has some simple steps to get a jsp showing on server that I cant implement. After setup, I create a web-app.war with an index.jsp, but then I try to create the helloworld.ear with the following command: jar cf helloworld.ear web-app.war META-INF I get an error saying "META-INF: no such file or directory". Surely someone knows how dumb I'm being. Any help is appreciated. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3992210#...
