| <h1 class="topictitle1">Adding Web library projects</h1> |
| <div><div class="skipspace"> <p>Web library projects allow you to associate Java 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>®</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, open the Web perspective |
| |
| and in the Project Explorer view, complete the following steps: </p> |
| </div> |
| <ol><li class="skipspace"><span>Expand your project and double-click on the Deployment Descriptor.</span> The Web Deployment Descriptor editor appears.</li> |
| <li class="skipspace"><span>In the Overview tab, in the <span><span class="uicontrol">Web Library Projects</span></span> section, |
| |
| select an existing Java project JAR mapping, or click <span><span class="uicontrol">Add</span></span> to |
| |
| define a new mapping.</span></li> |
| <li class="skipspace"><span>In the <span><span class="uicontrol">Add a Library Project</span></span> dialog, |
| |
| supply the JAR name that you want to associate with the current project, and |
| |
| use the <span><span class="uicontrol">Browse</span></span> button to locate and select |
| |
| the project that contains the JAR file.</span></li> |
| <li class="skipspace"><span>Click <span><span class="uicontrol">Finish</span></span></span></li> |
| </ol> |
| <div class="skipspace"><p>A virtual version of the associated JAR file will appear in the |
| |
| Libraries folder.</p> |
| </div> |
