| <div><div class="skipspace"> <p> A Web archive (WAR) file is a packaged Web application that |
| |
| can be exported to test, publish, and deploy the resources developed within |
| |
| a Web project.</p> |
| <p> <b>Note</b>: if you want to work with an existing workbench |
| |
| Web project or share Web projects, we highly recommend that you use the <a href="../../org.eclipse.jst.j2eeapp.doc.user/topics/tjsharing.html"> Project |
| |
| Interchange</a> feature, as this feature preserves all your metadata. </p> |
| <p>To |
| |
| export a WAR file from a Web project, do the following: </p> |
| </div> |
| <ol><li class="skipspace"><span>Right click on a Web project folder and select <b>Export</b> from |
| |
| the pop-up menu. Then select<b> WAR file</b> in the Export window and then |
| |
| select <b>Next</b>.</span></li> |
| <li class="skipspace"><span>Specify the Web project you want to export (this field is primed |
| |
| if you used the pop-up menu to open the wizard), and specify a location for |
| |
| the new WAR file</span></li> |
| <li class="skipspace"><strong>Optional: </strong><span>Optionally, supply WAR export <span>Options</span>, |
| |
| such as whether or not to include Java source files in the WAR, and whether |
| |
| to overwrite any existing resources during the export process. </span> Source |
| |
| files are not usually included in a WAR file, because they are not necessary |
| |
| for the server to run the web application.</li> |
| <li class="skipspace"><span>Click <span><span class="uicontrol">Finish</span></span>.</span></li> |
