<p>The Web development environment provides the tools you need to develop
Web applications as defined in the <cite>Sun Microsystems <tm tmclass="special"
tmowner="Sun Microsystems, Inc." tmtype="tm" trademark="Java">Java</tm> Servlet
2.3 Specification</cite> and the <cite>Sun Microsystems JSP 1.2 Specification</cite>.
Web applications can be simple (consisting of only static Web pages) or they
can be more advanced and include JavaServer Pages (JSP) files and <tm tmclass="special"
tmowner="Sun Microsystems, Inc." tmtype="tm" trademark="Java">Java</tm> servlets.
These resources, along with an XML deployment descriptor (and other <xref
href="cwebresources.dita" scope="peer"><desc></desc> Web resources</xref>, are contained
within a Web project during development. When you are ready to publish the
Web application to the Web, you deploy the Web project to the server in the
form of a Web archive (WAR) file . The end user can then view the Web application
as a Web site from a URL.</p>
