Develop Web applications

 

Design a Web application and the components that it needs.

For general Web application design information, see "Resources for learning."

 

Overview

There are two basic approaches to selecting tools for developing Web applications:

The following steps support the second approach, development without an IDE.

 

Procedure

  1. If necessary, migrate any pre-existing code to the required version of the servlet and JSP specification.

  2. Write and compile the components of the Web application. To access classes that were extended, compile your code using the -classpath option on the javac compiler. This option allows you to reference the j2ee.jar file in the product directory:

    • <install_root>\lib

    [Windows] To compile that same servlet on the Windows NT version of WebSphere ND, specify:

     javac -classpath D:\Program Files\WebSphere\DeploymentManager\lib\j2ee.jar MyServlet.java
    
    

     

  3. (Optional) Disable JavaServer Pages runtime compilation, if necessary.

 

What to do next

Assemble the application components in one or more Web modules.
