Buley,

Can you be more specific as to what web app you are looking for?

We had a "Tomcat Sample" Eclipse project that we used several years ago in our SHARE z/OS Tomcat Lab, which can be used to build a sample war. It can be downloaded here:

http://dovetail.com/downloads/misc/index.html

The old SHARE lab notes can be obtained here:
http://dovetail.com/docs/misc/s8370tca.pdf

These are somewhat out of date, however. The SHARE lab notes assume that certain directories are available on your z/OS system, and we can't offer you any support regarding this lab.

My suggestion is that you start with our "T:Z Quickstart for Tomcat" package, and then use Eclipse or your favorite IDE to build a war and deploy it to z/OS. A war is just a specially-organized zip file, and any good book on Tomcat will show you how to build one and deploy it to Tomcat. It doesn't matter that you are using Tomcat on z/OS... the war and how it is deployed will be the same.

Some options for deploying a war are:
- uploading it manually to the right directory (I don't recommend this)
- using the built-in Tomcat "manager" web interface to deploy
- using the "deployer" Ant task (this is done in the TomcatSample Eclipse project, which has an ant script to build and deploy a war).
