Share what errors are you getting with the app you tried to create. — Seba
Is your Maven project packaging set to 'war'? What's the Mule configuration file name(s)? Also share your web.xml config. — David Dossot
hi all, i couldn't able to create the war that is my main issue.. @David Dossot, there is no web.xml file in my mule Project.How to start creating war from scratch plz assist.I have installed maven plugin, but created a project as Mule project, do i need change the Project type also? — Jeevanantham
It's not really "convertible". You can probably reuse much of the logic, but you need to remake the project structure and test it again as things work a bit different — Petter Nordlander

In the pom.xml, ensure you have <packaging>war</packaging>
Create src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml using the template below, replacing YOUR_CONFIGS with a comma-separated list of Mule configurations and YOUR_PATH with the path you want for the Mule servlet,
Replace all your inbound HTTP endpoints with Servlet endpoints, like <servlet:inbound-endpoint path="/YOUR_ENDPOINT_PATH" />

And you should be good to go!

web.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd"
    version="2.5">

    <context-param>
        <param-name>org.mule.config</param-name>
        <param-value>YOUR_CONFIGS</param-value>
    </context-param>

    <listener>
        <listener-class>org.mule.config.builders.MuleXmlBuilderContextListener</listener-class>
    </listener>

    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>muleServlet</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>org.mule.transport.servlet.MuleReceiverServlet</servlet-class>
    </servlet>
    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>muleServlet</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/YOUR_PATH/*</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
</web-app>

EDIT I've open-sourced a running demo: https://github.com/ddossot/mule-webapp-example
