Deploying the {EAR, WAR} web application on Sun Application Server PE 8 (circa 2005)?

tl; dr: How would you deploy a web application if it were in 2005?

I’ve been trying to deploy the base {EAR, WAR} for the last 4-5 weeks using Sun Application Server PE 8, J2SE 1.4.2 and my article since 2005 as reference documentation.

Given the age of the software I'm developing with, all the relevant help documentation has been removed from the Internet (as it seems). As programmers developed in EJB 3.0 (I use EJB 2.1), how would you deploy an application that uses:

  • J2SE 1.4.2
  • EJB 2.1
  • Sun PE 8 Application Server
  • Sun deploytool
  • JSPs + Servlets
  • Notepad (IDE not allowed)

I asked at least 4 other StackOverflow questions trying to figure out how to deploy something like the Hello World web application to Sun Application Server PE 8 to no avail. Does anyone have a random guess about what I should do here?

Menu options (new):

  • Application
  • Application client
  • Connector Resource Adapter
  • Company Bean
  • Web component
  • Web service

Menu options (add to application):

  • Application Client JAR
  • Enterprise JavaBean JAR
  • WAR web application
  • RAR Connector Resource Adapter

My erroneous logic

  • Creating an EAR Application
  • Create EJB
  • Add Foo.class, FooBean.class, FooHome.class to the EAR application.
  • Create "X", add FooServlet.class, FooClient.jsp (?) To "X"

But obviously this is not true. If it was in 2005, how would you deploy a web application?
