Difference between jar and war in Java

Question

Can anyone tell me the difference between a .jar and a .war file?

Answer 1

See the below difference in the definitions:

.jar files: The .jar files contain libraries, resources and accessories files like property files.

.war files: The war file contains the web application that can be deployed on any servlet/jsp container. The .war file contains Jsp, Html, JavaScript and other files necessary for the development of web applications.
