Editing a JSP deployment configuration

The Deployment Configuration Properties dialog box for a JSP target includes properties for:

When you deploy the JSP target, PowerBuilder builds a Web Archive (WAR) file in the deployment configuration folder created by the JSP Web Target wizard. The WAR file contains the JSP files you added to the target, any classes or JAR files you added to the Source folder, and a web.xml file that conforms to the Document Type Definition (DTD) for Web applications. The Web application is automatically deployed to the server you selected in the target wizard.

The web.xml file is the deployment descriptor for the Web application. The deployment configuration properties you define in the JSP Options section of the JSP Deployment Configuration Properties dialog box are written to the web.xml file.

In general, you should not edit the web.xml file manually. The changes you make in the Deployment Configuration Properties dialog box are propagated to copies of the web.xml file in the WAR file and appropriate subdirectories of your JSP target.

You open the Deployment Configuration Properties dialog box for a JSP target in the same way as for a Web site target: select Properties from the target’s pop-up menu and double-click the deployment configuration you want to view or edit on the Deploy page of the Target Properties dialog box.
