Lesson 1: Create a Web project
This lesson demonstrates how to create a Web project
The first step in working on your Web site is to create a Web project. The Web project is the container that holds all of your Web resources.
You can create a static or a dynamic Web project. Create a static Web project if you plan to create a Web site that contains only simple resources, such as flat HTML files. Create a dynamic Web project if you plan to create a Web site that contains dynamic elements, such as JavaServer Pages and servlets. In most cases, you will want to create dynamic Web projects so that you can make full use of the development tools.
In this tutorial, we will work with a dynamic Web project. To create a dynamic Web project, complete the following steps:
- From the Web Perspective, click
File | New | Dynamic Web Project. The New Project window opens.
- Type a name for the Web project in the Project name field. For this tutorial, name your project ClassifiedsTutorial .
- Click Finish.
The wizard creates a new project with the name and options you selected.
