How do I point the web server to my web application?

I am ready to upload my web application to an online server. I picked the first one I saw opened on youtube which is Jelastic Cloud.

My web application looks like this (UPDATE: it added a glassfish-web.xml, see below)

enter image description here

I usually run it by rightclicking index.jsp and running that which opens index.jsp webpage in my web browser.

In Netbeans I went to Export -> Export as zip. Then I went and made sure the file was a .zip file.

I create an environment in Jelastic. It is set to Java by default. I changed the setting Tomcat to Glassfish 4.1 because I am using glassfish with netbeans and saw that option there.

I deploy my websitetest1.zip to the environment by clicking Deploy.

When it finishes, I click on Open in Browser.

A browser page opens and says:

HTTP Status 404 - Not Found

type Status report

messageNot Found

descriptionThe requested resource is not available.

GlassFish Server Open Source Edition 4.1

When I look in Jelastic's log for glassfish it says:

I Googled and people were saying to set context path so I right-clicked my project, went to Run setting and changed context path from /g5 to g5 . This created a glassfish-web.xml file. 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE glassfish-web-app PUBLIC "-//GlassFish.org//DTD GlassFish Application Server 3.1 Servlet 3.0//EN" "http://glassfish.org/dtds/glassfish-web-app_3_0-1.dtd">

  <class-loader delegate="true"/>
  <jsp-config>
    <property name="keepgenerated" value="true">
      <description>Keep a copy of the generated servlet class' java code.</description>
    </property>
  </jsp-config>
</glassfish-web-app>

I rezipped my project to webTEST3 and uploaded it to Jelastic and clicked deploy. When I open it in browser the same 404 thing happened

The index.jsp of my application is located at webTEST3.zip\g5\src\main\webapp . But I'm guessing the web server will know where to find that and I shouldn't need to type something like http://myshit/index.jsp to get to it? Or http://myshit/g5?

There is no .jar file in the zip anywhere.

Thankyou for reading. I think I am close and I will keep Googling

I am trying to Package my project however I have no Package option whatsoeever. How can I get this option? Here are my currently installed plugins. My project is a maven project.

User daniel gave me a fix. My project is a maven project so I can rightclick my pom file -> Run Maven -> Goals and enter "package" as a goal and click go. This appears to have given me the path to a SNAPSHOT.jar. I uploaded this to my web server, deployed it and it worked.
