The deployment process involves three phases:
Transform Processes the contents of the file, changing HTML tags and scripts, or adding server scripts as necessary to suit the target application server
Put Writes out the deployed pages to your local or network file system, to an FTP site, or directly to an application server
When you deploy a target, the deployment controller executes these three phases for each HTML, JSP, and script file you deploy.
A deployment configuration is a named set of instructions for deployment. You can deploy to one configuration, or to as many as you like. Deployment configurations can be stored in a target file or in your Windows registry.
When you define a configuration, you specify the type of server to deploy the Web site files to, and other information about your site that the deployment controller requires to transform files into the syntax used by the server.
You can use the JSP Target wizard to define a deployment configuration for a JSP server. Otherwise, you set up and modify deployment configurations from the Web target properties dialog box.
