Appendix D. Web-Application Structure and Deployment Descriptor Reference
A complete web application may consist of several different resources: JSP pages, servlets, applets, static HTML pages, custom tag libraries, and other Java class files. Version 2.2 of the servlet specification defines a portable way to package all these resources together with a deployment descriptor that contains configuration information, such as how all the resources fit together, security requirements, etc. This appendix describes the standard file structure for a web application, and how to use the deployment descriptor to configure the application.
Web Application File Structure
The portable distribution and deployment format for a web application defined by the servlet specification is the Web Archive (WAR). All Servlet 2.2-compliant servers provide tools for installing a WAR file and associate the application with a servlet context.
A WAR file has a .war file extension and can be
created with the Java jar command or a ZIP
utility program, such as WinZip, as described at
the end of this appendix. The internal structure of the WAR file is
defined by the servlet specification:
/index.html /company/index.html /company/contact.html /company/phonelist.jsp /products/searchform.html /products/list.jsp /images/banner.gif /WEB-INF/web.xml /WEB-INF/lib/bean.jar /WEB-INF/lib/actions.jar /WEB-INF/classes/com/mycorp/servlets/PurchaseServlet.class /WEB-INF/classes/com/mycorp/util/MyUtils.class /WEB-INF/tlds/actions.tld ...
