| <h1 class="topictitle1">Configuring Web applications using the Web deployment descriptor editor</h1> |
| <div><div class="skipspace"> <p>When you create a Web project, the New Web Project wizard places |
| |
| a web.xml file in the project's WEB-INF directory. This file is used to specify |
| |
| deployment information for modules created in the Web development environment |
| |
| To open the web.xml file, double-click it (or double-click the Deployment |
| |
| Descriptor icon in the Project Explorer view). The Web deployment descriptor |
| |
| editor opens in the editing pane.</p> |
| <p>It is recommended that you use |
| |
| the tabbed pages (views) to construct the deployment descriptor for your |
| |
| Web application. Even though the Web deployment descriptor editor does provides |
| |
| a source page of the web.xml file (from the <span>Source</span> tab), using the |
| |
| tabbed pages is easier and introduces fewer errors. As you make changes on |
| |
| these tabbed pages, the web.xml file is updated automatically. For instance, |
| |
| when you use the New Servlet wizard to create a servlet in a Web project, |
| |
| the appropriate servlet entry is automatically inserted into the web.xml |
| |
| file.</p> |
| <p>In addition to the configuration information in the web.xml |
| |
| file, you can also use this editor to edit other deployment descriptors in |
| |
| the Web project, including information on bindings and IBM<sup>®</sup> extensions (ibm-web-bnd.xmi |
| |
| and ibm-web-ext.xmi files).</p> |
| <p>To edit the deployment descriptor, click |
| |
| the tabbed pages to locate attributes that you wish to add, edit or remove. |
| |
| In addition, the sections in the Overview page contain links to existing |
| |
| elements of the deployment descriptor. Click the links to open the appropriate |
| |
| editor page to make updates or additions.</p> |
