where to put .WAR files on server?

[Edmund Castermund]

Hi,
I am able to do some simple servlets and run them on the localhost...but I want to deploy on a home server I have....I tried exporting the war file (I'm using eclipse) to <server-tomcat-folder>/webapps/filename.war....

but I cant run the applcation from there...
also, when I try to view the .WAR file I can't see it, either in the terminal or dolphin (I'm using ubuntu).

What is the appropriate destination for a WAR file, and what would the url be if running the war file on a server?

Yes, It's the right place.

when I try to view the .WAR file I can't see it, either in the terminal or dolphin (I'm using ubuntu).

Then the file has not been exported.

and what would the url be if running the war file on a server?

By default container deploys the war with the same name as the WAR file's unless you config it to a different one.
