| <p> A Web application is a group of HTML pages, JSP pages, servlets, resources |
| and source file, which can be managed as a single unit. A Web archive (WAR) |
| file is a packaged Web application. WAR files can be used to import a Web |
| application into a Web server.</p> |
| |
| <p>In addition to project resources, the WAR file includes a Web deployment |
| descriptor file. The Web deployment descriptor is an XML file that contains |
| deployment information, MIME types, session configuration details, and other |
| settings for a Web application. The Web deployment descriptor file (<span class="filepath">web.xml</span>) |
| provides information about the WAR file is shared with the developers, assemblers, |
| and deployers in a Java EE environment.</p> |
| |
| <div class="p">The Web development environment provides facilities for importing and exporting |
| WAR files, using the following wizards: <ul> |
| <li><span>Import Resources from a WAR File</span>, which requires that you to |
| specify a Web project. You can use existing projects or create them as you |
| use the wizard.</li> |
| |
| <li><span>Export Resources to a WAR File</span>, which requires only an export |
| location and some optional settings</li> |
| |
| </ul> |
