JAR is Java Archive
WAR is an Web Aapplication archive
EAR is an Enterprise Aapplication archive
all 3 formats are zip files.. rename thm to .zip and you will be able to open them.
in the J2ee world they are used accordingly.:
.jar files usually will java class files and maybe some config files.. acts like a include library.. files referenceable by your app if the file is in the classpath..
.war files usually contains a web application ..i.e a servlet with jsp files, classes and stuff..
.ear files usually includes enterprise stuff, beans etc.
Stumbled upon your blog a week ago and decided to come back. Not for the articles you write, but for how you write them, really amazing stuff you’re doing here, i like how you put information into the articles which makes it much more easier to read and much more interesting of course. Keep up the good work!
