Creating WAR using Netbeans

Question

I am creating war file from Netbeans. Previously I created jar file using Netbeans, it worked fine (in command prompt). But when I am running war file from command prompt, I am getting this error:

Failed to load Main-Class manifest attribute from WebApplication2.war.

I have set main class from Netbeans during creation of jar

Project->properties->Run->Choosed main class)..

Do I have to set any mainclass during war creation (as web application does not have any main class, it just has JWS and servlets, how can we set main class)?

Solution

If your app is web project, Just say clean & build from Netbeans it will create a war file in your project/target directory

by doing this you should have .war file created

@JigarJoshi what if it's not a web project?

@Igor why do you want to create war for non web project ?

@JigarJoshi I want to migrate the project from NetBeans to Eclipse
