Tomcat is a developed by Apache so XAMPP also included this.

Create a WAR File in NetBeans

1. Create a new web Project

2. Clean and build the project

This will create a war file.

We have create a war file a.war and now want to run in tomcat server

provided with XAMPP.

We created war file using netbeans IDE there are many IDE available for

java/j2ee you can easily choose any one of them

You can dowload XAMPP from here

I have developed a jsp servlet application in netbeans8.2 I want to give this

code to UI developer to enhance the UI.

On his/her laptop they don’t use netbeans IDE. They have to work only with

jsp files.
