A simple Java web based project(neither maven nor ant,gradle) is pushed on to bitbucket.

I am usingpulling the code from the bitbucket repository and building the war file using "Execute Windows Batch command" in Jenkins.

Windows Batch script that i am using to create war file is :

cd WebContent
jar -cvf Warfilename.war *

after this i am using deploy war/ear to container and i am deploying to tomcat installed in windows server.

But i want to achieve the same thing using Jenkins Declarative pipeline script since i need to get manual approval before the war is deployed on to production environment.For this i am planning to use input command in Declarative pipeline.

The issue here while i am using jar -cvf Warfilename.war * command in Execute Windows Batch command in jenkins freestyle project war is getting build without any issues.

But when i do the same via declarative pipeline script in Pipeline type project an error is thrown

"jar' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Declarative pipeline script that i am using :

pipeline 
 agent any

 stages 
 stage('Clone sources') 
 steps 
 checkout([$class: 'GitSCM', branches: [[name: '*/master']], doGenerateSubmoduleConfigurations: false, extensions: , submoduleCfg: , userRemoteConfigs: [[credentialsId: 'user1',
 url:'repo-url']]])

 
 
 stage('Build War') 
 steps 
 bat '''cd WebContent
 jar -cvf ADLMDashboard.war *'''

 
 
 stage('Deploy War to Tomcat') 
 steps 
 echo 'Deploying....'
 
 
 

I have two questions:

1. 
   

   How to resolve the error

   
   
   

   
   

   'jar' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

   
   

   
   
   

   that occurs while used in a pipeline script.

   
   



2. what is the command to be used to deploy the war file to tomcat server installed in windows. It should work same as deploy war to container plugin i.e it should undeploy and redeploy the war file each and every time some code is checked into the bitbucket repository.
