Newbie to Apache - unzip war issue

[cliff09]

I am trying to deploy a zipped .war file prior to installing the war onto apache tomcat. Using winzip, when the .zip is opened it has a directory structure instead of a .war file alone. Can anyone shed some light over marblehead?

It sounds to me lke the zip file was created with the directory structure.

To fix it, just don't include the directory structure when creating the zip file.

there are two options when unzipping something:
-unzip what's inside to the current dir [extract here]
-unzip inside a folder named the same as the zip file name,
seems u got the second issue, how r u doing the unzip process, or does that point u out on the alternative method of "extract here" ??
