<h1 class="topictitle1">Exporting Web Archive (WAR) files</h1>
<div><div class="section"> <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>To export a WAR file from a Web project, do the following: </p>
</div>
<ol><li class="stepexpand"><span>Right click on a Web project folder and select <strong>Export</strong> from
the pop-up menu. Then select<strong> WAR file</strong> in the Export window and then
select <strong>Next</strong>.</span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><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="stepexpand"><strong>Optional: </strong><span>Optionally, supply WAR export <span>Options</span>,
such as whether or not to include Java&#8482; 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="stepexpand"><span>Click <span><b>Finish</b></span>.</span></li>
