Mounting an Existing Web Module
See Also
You can mount a web module created outside the IDE and operate on it as you do
other web modules.
To be mounted in the IDE, a web module must conform to the structured directory
format or the web archive format, called WAR, as described in the Java Servlet
2.3 specification.
 |
The web module must be mounted at its root directory. If mounted correctly,
the WEB-INF directory will display the
web module icon. If mounted incorrectly, the web module will not execute.
|
To load an existing web module directory:
- From the main menu bar, choose File
Mount
Filesystem.
- In the Mount Filesystem dialog box, choose Mount Local Directory, and click
Browse. Note that you could also choose to mount a CVS filesystem that contains
a web module.
- Navigate to the location of the web module directory and select it. Click
OK. You are returned to the initial Mount Filesystem dialog box where the
Directory field now indicates your selected filesystem.
- If the Directory field in the Mount Filesystem dialog box reflects the correct
web module directory, click OK to mount the directory. Otherwise, click Browse
to repeat the selection process.
You can now work with the loaded web module directory and operate on it
using the IDE tools.
