When you create a new WebFacing project, you select WebFacing
Web project if you want to deploy to a Web application server.
By default, the WebFacing Web project will be J2EE 1.3 and Struts-based.
To
create a WebFacing Web project:
Click File > New > Project.
Expand WebFacing in the Wizards pane, select WebFacing
Web Project, and then click Next to open the WebFacing
Web project wizard. In WebSphere Development Studio Client
Advanced Edition for iSeries, V5.1.2 and later, you can also choose WebFacing
Portlet Project when you create a new WebFacing project. This
will create a new J2EE 1.3 Struts WebFacing portlet project. You can also
add a WebFacing portlet to an existing non-struts based portlet project.
In the WebFacing Web Project wizard:
Enter a name for your project in the Name field and click
the Show Advanced button if the advanced settings are
not already displayed.
Note: You can add WebFacing support to an
existing J2EE 1.4 or J2EE 1.3 Web project by selecting the Add
WebFacing support to an existing Web project radio button and
selecting the project from the list.
Ensure that the Add module to an EAR project check
box is selected.
Check the values for Servlet version and Target server.
The servlet versions 2.3 and 2.4 correspond to J2EE levels 1.3 and 1.4, respectively.
Note that the version you select determines the version of your target WebSphere
Application Server.
The EAR project is NameEAR.
For example, if the project name is myproj, the
EAR file name will be myprojEAR. You can change
the EAR file name or keep the default.
The Context root must be the same name as the project
name, otherwise your results are unpredictable. The context root is the Web
application root, the top-level directory of your application when it is deployed
to a Web server. The value for this field is updated automatically when you
enter the project name.
Select the Add support for annotated Java classes check
box if you want to use annotation-based programming tags. This option is not
required for a WebFacing project.
Click Next. In the Advanced Edition of the product, you can select:
Use single signon
Select this feature to enable users to access multiple applications across
platforms using a single user ID and password.
Click Next. The next few screens
allow you to select display file and UIM source members to convert. If you
want to create the WebFacing Web project without converting, click Next until
you see the Complete WebFacing Project page and click Finish to
create the project.
