Deploying Servlets

[drew_ramakris]

I have my servlets and JSPs running in JRun. I want to be able to deploy them in WebLogic6.0.
The steps I followed are :
1. start wl server.
2. Logon to admin console.
3. Tried to create a new webApplication. There are three fields in there
a. Name : I gave it a name
b. URL: I gave it the war file location c:/tracking
c. Path: I left it blank.
Checkbox "Deployed" which i left checked.
I clicked on Create and got an error.[at end of this message]
I am stuck. What are the steps I need to follow to be able to deploy my servlets in WLS.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
