About building and deploying JSP targets

You build and deploy JSP targets to:

Test part or all of a JSP target
Move a completed JSP target into a production environment

The build phase

Building a JSP target prepares your files for deployment and verifies links from a JSP page to another file. You can build a target anytime during development to get information about broken links so that you can fix them. You must build a target or individual files before deployment to make the files available for deployment. The deployment process does this automatically.

The deployment phase

Deploying a JSP target processes target files from the Build folder and moves them to the runtime environment you specify. Typically you deploy your application in a local test environment before deploying it to the production servers.

You can deploy JSP targets to:

EAServer The JSP container included with EAServer
Tomcat The official reference implementation for Java servlet and JSP technologies from the Apache Software Foundation’s Jakarta project
Other JSP servers Any server that supports the JSP 1.2 specifications
Sybase Enterprise Portal Instead of a JSP server
