Web Application deployment errror -- WLS 6.0

[amitk]

I copied the war file on to the applications directory with the following structure:
*.jsp
/Web-inf/web.xml
/Web-inf/weblogic.xml
6.0 refuses to deploy it and gives the following error ?

I'd be interested in the answer too. I'm trying to deploy
HelloWorldServlet, and I'm getting the same error.

Project structure is:

/WEB-INF/classes/HelloWorldServlet.class
/WEB-INF/web.xml
/WEB-INF/weblogic.xml

all neatly war'ed up.

OK. We think we found it, for anyone who ends up finding this thread
on google or wherever.

You need to build the .war by running jar xv0f * from inside the top
level directory of your web application, not from the directory
*containing* your web application.

This has been a public service announcement.
