Re: [Wrapper-user] How do I wrap a jar file instead of a class?

[Leif M. <le...@ta...>]

Fred,
    The Wrapper does not directly support the running of Jar files.  But 
that said, you
can still easily use the wrapper to run you application.  When Java runs 
a jar file, it
does so by looking up the main class using the Manifest file of the Jar. 
 It then
executes that normally.

    So to get your application running with the Wrapper, you will need 
to extract the
contents of the jar file into a temp directory and open the 
META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
If you are using WinZip or something, you may be able to just open the 
jar file as if
it was a Zip file and fire the file from within the jar.
    You should see a line like the following:
Main-Class: {classname}
    Once you have this main class, delete the extracted jar files and 
use the jar as
usual.

    Following the directions on the integration page, you can then use 
this class
as the main class of your application and integrate the app as usual.

    Let me know if you have any problems getting this working.  Probably 
need
to add a note about this in the docs.

Cheers,
Leif
