customer.

7.4 Converting from a J2EE Web application to a bundle

In this section, we convert the J2EE Web application into a bundle. This will allow

the Web application to run as a true servlet in the SMF environment.

1. If WebSphere Studio Site Developer is not running, click Start →

Programs → IBM WebSphere Studio →Site Developer 5.1.x.

2. Open the Web Perspective, or the SMF Perspective.

3. From the Project manager (or Package Explorer) view select File → New →

Other.

You might have noticed that you did not get to pick some other options that you

get when you create a bundle from scratch. We will need to add the other

required projects to the build path manually, but a bundle activator file was

created by default.

Before we fix the build path and add the remaining code to our application, we

need to run the generated bundle.

8. Navigate into the ITSORentalsWebApplicationBundle project just created
