Application Development
WAS supports the J2EE 1.3 specification for application components. An enterprise application is composed of application modules that work together to perform a business logic function. A J2EE-compliant application can contain any of these components:
- Enterprise beans
- Servlets, JavaServer Pages (JSP) files and other Web components
- Resource adapter (connector) implementations
- Application clients
- Other supporting classes and files
These topics provide information about developing and assembling enterprise applications for WAS.
