[Version 5.0.2 and later]Assembling Web applications

Why and when to perform this task

Assemble a Web module to contain servlets, JavaServer page (JSP) files, and related code artifacts. (Group enterprise beans, client code, and resource adapter code in separate modules). After assembling a Web module, you can install it as a stand-alone application or combine it with other modules into an enterprise application.

Use the Assembly Toolkit to assemble a Web module in any of the following ways:

Although you can input various properties for Web archives, available properties are specific to the Servlet, JSP, and J2EE specification level.

Steps for this task

  1. Start the Assembly Toolkit.
  2. (Optional)   Open the J2EE perspective to work with J2EE projects. Click Window > Open Perspective > Other > J2EE.
  3. (Optional)   Open the J2EE Hierarchy view. Click Window > Show View > J2EE Hierarchy. Other helpful views include the Project Navigator view (Window > Show View > Other > J2EE > Project Navigator) and the Navigator view (Window > Show View > Navigator).
  4. Migrate WAR files created with the Application Assembly Tool (AAT) or a different tool to the Assembly Toolkit. To migrate files, import your WAR files to the Assembly Toolkit.
  5. Create a new Web module.
  6. Copy code artifacts (such as servlets) from one Web module into a new Web module.
  7. Verify the contents of the new Web module in either of the following ways:
    • In the J2EE Hierarchy view, expand Web Modules and view the new module.
    • Click Window > Show View > Navigator to see the associated files for the Web module in a Navigator view.
