Creating a Web Application Archive (WAR) file:

It is often convenient to package the servlet as a web application archive (WAR) file which is a JAR similar to the package used for Java class libraries. To assemble a war file manually:

1.	Create a new directory

2.	Create index.html in that directory

3.	Create a subdirectory named WEB-INF

4.	Create WEB-INF/web.xml

5.	Create WEB-INF/classes directory and copy all of your COBOL .class files to that directory

6.	Run "jar cvf myservlet.war ."
