you could always zip the files up with winzip or similar instead. If 

jar -cvf etc

does not work then java and javac shouldnt work either because that it where
you will find the zip utility.

I am referring the page number of the "Professional JSP 2nd Edition" Book, 
page 66. 

In order to create war file jar -cvf myfirstwebapp.war* command is used 
from the DOS Command Prompt.

My question is can we create war files without this Command Prompt?
[because my command prompt says "This program cannot be run from DOS mode".
For this fact I always compile and run my java classes from a TextPad and 
this happened after installing Oracle Developer 2000 on my Win98!]

If you have some solution please!
