hi,
you need to buy a commercial sever that has tomcat,weblogic or any server that supports jsp,servlet etc. Once this is done you usaully copy the war file and deploy it on this server. The company that provides you the server see that it is always connected to internet and you will be also given a domain name. so your site can be accessed by public by typing www.yourdomain.com etc.
Another way to do it is have your system conneted to net 24*7 with a broardband and should have static IP. install your own server and host your web application on it.

what do you mean with 'deploy'. I can find the war file in the dist directory. I have a space which I can reach with ftp. when I transfer html files to it, I can make a website. Is it possible to transfer the war file to it ? I mean, of course it's possible, but will it show my webapplication ?
