| <h1 class="topictitle1">Creating a dynamic Web project</h1> |
| <div><p>You create and maintain the resources for your Web applications |
| in Web projects.</p> |
| <div class="section"> <p> Unlike with <a href="twcresta.html">static</a> Web |
| projects, dynamic Web projects enable you to create resources such as JavaServer |
| Pages and servlets.</p> |
| <p>To create a new dynamic Web project, complete the |
| following steps:</p> |
| </div> |
| <ol><li><span>Open the J2EE perspective.</span></li> |
| <li><span>In the Project Explorer, right click on Dynamic Web Projects, and |
| select <span class="menucascade"><b>New</b> > <b>Dynamic Web Project</b></span> from the context menu. The New Dynamic Web Project wizard starts.</span></li> |
| <li><span>Follow the project wizard prompts.</span></li> |
| </ol> |
| <div class="section"><p><strong>General Information</strong></p> |
| <dl><dt class="dlterm">Project Facets </dt> |
| <dd>A facet represents a unit of functionality in a Web project. For example, |
| the Dynamic Web Module facet enables the project to be deployed as a dynamic |
| Web module. A brief description of a project facet appears in the wizard |
| when you select it. Note that in many instances, you can view the constraints |
| for a project facet by right clicking on the facet and selecting project constraints |
| from the pop up menu. </dd> |
| <dt class="dlterm">Target Runtime</dt> |
| <dd>Use this field to define a new installed runtime environment. Runtimes |
| are used at build time to compile projects.</dd> |
| <dt class="dlterm">Enterprise Application project (EAR Project)</dt> |
| <dd>A new or existing Enterprise Application project (EAR Project) must be |
| associated with your new Web project to facilitate deployment. If you want |
| to override the default settings for the Enterprise Application project, you |
| can do so using the wizard. When your Web project is created at the end of |
| the wizard, the new Enterprise Application project is also created with the |
| name specified in the EAR project field. Note that the default is the name |
| of the web project appended with EAR (unless the ear project was selected |
| when you opened the wizard.)</dd> |
| <dt class="dlterm">Context Root</dt> |
| <dd>The context root is the Web application root, which is the top-level directory |
| of your application when it is deployed to the Web server. You can change |
| the context root after you create a project using the project Properties dialog, |
| which you access from the project's pop-up menu. The context root can also |
| be used by the links builder to ensure that your links remain ready to publish |
| as you move and rename files inside your project.</dd> |
