proper association but I still don't get a java [sic] aware environment.
What is your environment?
I am willing to bet that whatever you mean by an "association" (what do you
mean by that?) or "to have setup" one did not involve packaging JSP, HTML,
resources and class files into a WAR file (one with a .war extension and a
JAR-file internal format), nor deploying that WAR file to the application
server, which is the correct way to "setup" a Web application.
What's the trick? I remember being able to do this a while back, maybe
in an earlier version.
The trick is to package the JSP files, the HTML files (those that do have a
..html extension), resources (like images), bytecode (.class files), and
certain configuration files into a WAR file, then to deploy that WAR to your
application server using the application server's tools to do so.
