Upload it as deployable EAR or WAR.

I don't get you?

Aren't you just looking for a hosting provider?

Please ask specific questions. I still don't get you.

Uploading is just sending a file by HTTP or FTP to a server which stores the file on disk.

Aren't you asking how to deploy an EAR or WAR file on the applicationserver of the company? Why don't you just ask the company itself for conventions regarding uploading and deploying?

my problem is that i think according to my informations, like i'm using oc4j for this web application, does the server of the company needs to upload this container too..

then if i upload this app to the server how to put a link to the first page, which will lead to the others,

and i can't ask anybody here it's asamll company and it's not even a programming company so no body knows, only me.. we have a very small IT team...

thanks for keeping on..

I still don't get you. You're hussling with the terms and not using specific terms. Please ask specific questions.

When you says uploading, don't you mean deploying? Generally you can deploy using the admin console of the application server.

And putting a link to a page is simple:<a href="http://example.com/firstpage.jsp">click here</a>

But I think that you don't mean that? Do you mean that you want to introduce an index page? You can set that as <welcome-file> in the web.xml.

really sorry for this confusion...

ok.. , to make it simple..

how to make my web project run through internet...

i don't it's deploy or upload, but i don't think it's deploy because i already deployed into war file..

pls post me the steps in details i'm really missed up here..

and i guess that if my welcome page was index.html i don't need a <welcome-file> tag right?

> because i already deployed into war file..

OK, I'm lost.

If it's a Tomcat based server, look around on Google using the keywords "deploy tomcat" or so.

Well, like I tried to say: deploy it.

Or tell the company that you're unable to deploy a simple WAR file and that you even refuse to lookup and read documents how to deploy it and expecting have it done by others, so that they have to hire a real developer.

I am sorry about that. But you've made it yourself.

No effort or insights from your side == no effort and insights from our side.
