CentOS - Mar 2010 - how to deploy jar file

I have brand new deployment of tomcat 5.5.23 on centos5.3. I have received a
jar file and distribution folder from my developer who has developed the
application on windows.

Can anyone please tell me how to deploy this to linux?

If it's already packaged then pretty much all you need to do is
extract it to the tomcat home directory. Look in the
/etc/tomcat5/tomcat5.conf file for the base directory. Inside look for
the webapps directory. Extract your distribution folder to that
directory.

To access, just point your browser to the
server:8080/webapps/name_of_application_dir/
