| <h1 class="topictitle1">Creating a static Web project</h1> |
| <div><p> In the workbench, you create and maintain resources for Web applications |
| |
| in Web projects. If you want to create a static, content-based Web application |
| |
| that contains no dynamic elements, such as JSP files or servlets, use the <span><span class="uicontrol">New |
| |
| Static Web Project</span></span> wizard. If you later decide that you want |
| |
| to add dynamic elements to this project, you can <a href="twpcnvrt.html">convert the project to a dynamic Web project</a>.</p> |
| <p> Note |
| |
| that static web projects will not run in the provided WebSphere<sup>®</sup> test environments, |
| |
| but these projects can be previewed in a browser directly from the workspace. |
| |
| </p> |
| <p>To create a new static Web project, open the Web perspective and complete |
| |
| the following steps:</p> |
| </div> |
| <ol><li class="skipspace"><span>Select <span class="menucascade"><span class="uicontrol">File</span> > <span class="uicontrol">New</span> > <span class="uicontrol">Static Web Project</span></span>. </span> <p>The <span class="uicontrol">New |
| |
| Static Web Project</span> wizard appears.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li class="skipspace"><span>Provide a name for the Web project.</span> <p></p> |
| </li> |
| <li class="skipspace"><span>Accept the default value in the <span class="uicontrol">Project location</span> field |
| |
| (this is where your project is stored in your file system), or click <span class="uicontrol">Browse</span> to |
| |
| choose a location from the file system.</span> |
| </li> |
| <li class="skipspace"><span>You have two options to proceed: </span> <ul><li>If you want to accept the defaults associated with a static Web project, |
| select <span class="uicontrol">Finish</span> .</li> |
| <li>If you want to specify or customize the project options, select <span class="uicontrol">Next</span>. |
| The following step assumes you have chosen this option.</li> |
| </ul> |
| </li> |
| <li class="skipspace"><span>Select one or more of the <span class="uicontrol">Web Project features</span>. </span> <p>The default selects the <span class="uicontrol">Default style sheet (CSS)</span> check |
| box, which creates a default CSS file (called Master.css) for the project.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li class="skipspace"><span>Select <b>Next</b>, and then select <span class="uicontrol">Use a default Page |
| |
| Template for the Web Site</span> if you want your entire Web site to |
| |
| share a common page template.</span> <p>If you want to use one of the |
| |
| sample templates provided, select <b>Sample Page Template</b> and then choose |
| |
| one of the templates shown in the <b>Thumbnail</b> box. If you want to use |
| |
| a template of your own, select <b>User-defined Page Template</b> and then |
| |
| click <b>Browse</b> to select the template from the file system. </p> |
| </li> |
| <li class="skipspace"><span>Click <b>Finish</b>. The wizard creates an empty project containing |
| |
| the appropriate folder structure, which you can see in the Project Explorer.</span></li> |
| </ol> |
| <div class="skipspace"><p>You can now begin creating or importing content for your Web project |
| |
| using Web resource editors, the |
| |
| New File wizards, or the Import wizards available from the <span class="uicontrol">File</span> menu.</p> |
