Developing Web Modules

The IDE provides a complete set of tools for developing cross-platform web modules. A web module typically consists of:

Web modules have a defined, hierarchical directory structure. The web module root directory contains the document base for files that are served directly to the client and a WEB_INF/ subdirectory for files needed internally by the web module. Inside the WEB_INF/ directory is a classes/ subdirectory, a lib/ subdirectory, and a web.xml deployment descriptor file.

By creating a web module group, which is similar to a J2EE application, you can deploy one or more web modules together on a selected server.
