About building and deploying Web targets

You build and deploy Web targets to:

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

The build phase

Building a Web target prepares your files for deployment and verifies links from a Web 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 Web 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 Web site targets to:

Active Server Pages (ASP) Microsoft’s model for delivering dynamic content through an ISAPI application
A file system Any location on a local or server system

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
