• Servers
• Debug
• Variables

7
Exporting Web Projects

• Reference Page 353 - 356

• In Web Perspective
• Right-click Web project and select Export
• WAR file is a structured JAR file (zip file)
• Can view the contents using WinZip
• EAR file
• preferred for WSAD (creates Web project when
  importing)
• E.g., CalcApp EAR project
• In J2EE Perspective
• Right-click EAR project and select Export

8
Configure Local Server

• Reference Pages 357 - 358
• Server Perspective
• Add EAR projects
• E.g., CalcApp
• Remove EAR projects
• E.g., DefaultEAR
• You can configure a remote server if you have
  WebSphere Application Server (WAS).
• WAS administration and remote server
  configuration are not covered in this course
• Skip pages 358 361.
