getting online with AjaxSwing

[TAM]

Hello,

I´m a hobby programmer and developed a small desktop application with Java Swing.

Now - I would like to run this application online on a server or in a cloud.

I therefore converted my program with the ajaxswing console.

It worked fine.

Unfortunatly my informatic skills are very limited.  

Now..how exactly can I proceed ?
I alread read that there are different options to do so

"One is package it as a WAR along with AjaxSwing and deploy to existing servlet container.
Another one is take AjaxSwing with built-in Tomcat and just copy the whole thing to the server.

Either way you need to be able to FTP to the remote server and run Java processes there."

As I mentioned above , I´m not well skilled in website /online programming.
1.) What exactly do you mean with "package it as a WAR along with Ajaxswing". How exactly can I do this ?
2.) What do you mean with "take AjaxSwing with built-in Tomcat and just copy the whole thing to the server."

These questions probably sound stupid to you, but your answers would help me a lot...

Can you give me some more hints..

I prefer to ask - before spending hours in front of my computer..

I don´t care about the option (cloud/website) , but I would prefer the easiest and fastest way. :)

Thanks in advance

To run your application you should:

2. Copy your jar file (let's it be example.jar) into C:\AjaxSwing4.6.1\wcapps\lib

3. Go to C:\AjaxSwing4.6.1\conf and create example.properties file here

4. Add the next content

• #AjaxSwing properties file

where MainClass it is a class in your application with main() function

5. Go to C:\AjaxSwing4.6.1\bin, setEnv.bat (if you are using Windows) and setup rem set JAVA_HOME
6. startServer.bat
7. Open localhost:8040/ajaxswing/apps/example in your browser
