Web modules
Web modules contain...
- Servlets
- JSP files
- HTML files
- Deployment descriptors
Web modules are stored in *.war files.
The deployment descriptor, web.xml, declares the contents of the module and contains information about the dependencies and runtime characteristics of various Web components.
We can create Web modules as stand-alone applications, or we can combine Web modules with other modules to create J2EE applications (*.ear).
Web modules are installed into the Web container of an application server.
