Creating a Web Application

This page describes how to create a web application, which you can host on the Application Server.

To create a Web Application, open WSO2 Developer Studio Dashboard and select Web Application from Application Server category.

 

There are two ways to create a Web Application.

1. Create New Web Application
2. Import Web Application

With the first option, you will create a Web Application from the scratch. Give necessary information like Project Name, Web Context Root etc and click Finish.

Now you will see a Web Application being created in the workspace and index.jsp file being opened for you.

You can implement the web application as you need.

If you select Import Web Application option, you have to browse a location of Web Application Archive [WAR] file. Provide the Web Context Root.

Now you will see, that the provided Web Application Archive file has been extracted and created a new Web Application.

As you did for all the other projects, you can export the created Web Application in to a deployable artifact by right click on the project and select Export Project as Deployable Archive. With this it will create you a WAR file, which you can deploy in to any WSO2 Application Server. At the same time, you can group it with a Carbon Application Project and create the Carbon Application Archive [CAR] and deploy in to the Carbon Server.
