Viewing the Contents of a WAR File

See Also

Use the WAR Contents window to view the contents of a WAR package. The files included in a particular WAR package are determined by the properties you set using the Archive tab of the WEB-INF property sheet.

Tip Note that this feature might not be included in your version of the IDE.

To view the contents of a WAR package for a web module:

  1. Ensure that the parent directory of the relevant WAR package is mounted.
  2. In the Explorer, right-click the WEB-INF node for the relevant web module.
  3. From the contextual menu, choose View WAR Content.

The WAR Contents window appears. It contains a list of the files to be included when the web module is exported as a WAR file, along with path and extension information for each file.

By default, the list is sorted alphabetically by path name. You can sort the list alphabetically for another column by clicking the header for that column. When you have finished viewing the contents of the WAR package, click Close.

You can also view the contents of a standalone WAR file represented as a node in the Explorer.

To view the contents of a standalone WAR file:

  1. In the Explorer, right-click the icon for the relevant WAR package.
  2. From the contextual menu, choose View WAR Content.
