<h1 class="topictitle1">Adding Web library projects</h1>
<div><div class="section"> <p>Web library projects allow you to associate Java&#8482; projects
with "virtual" JAR files in a Web project's WEB-INF/lib directory. You can
reference JAR files that exist elsewhere in the Enterprise Application project
that contains your Web project, if they are in the Web project's build path,
and avoid the need to explicitly copy these JAR files into the project's lib
folder before you publish the Web application to a server.</p>
<p>Currently,
Web Library projects are supported only when testing in the WebSphere test
environment or remotely publishing to a WebSphere<sup>&reg;</sup> Application Server. After
these associations are made, you must restart and republish the server for
the changes to take effect.</p>
<p>To set up these associations:</p>
</div>
<ol><li class="stepexpand"><span>Right click on a Web project and select <b>Properties</b> from
the pop-up menu.</span> </li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Expand <b>J2EE Module Dependencies</b></span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Click <b>Web Libraries</b></span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Set up your associations in the Web Libraries window</span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Click <span><b>OK</b></span> when you are done.</span></li>
</ol>
