| <context> <p>A Web Archive (WAR) file is a portable, packaged Web application | |
| that you can import into your workspace. </p><p> Before importing a WAR file, | |
| you should first determine if the WAR file contains needed <tm tmclass="special" | |
| tmowner="Sun Microsystems, Inc." tmtype="tm" trademark="Java">Java</tm> source | |
| files. When importing a WAR file into an existing Web project, the imported | |
| Web deployment descriptor files are either not changed or overwritten by the | |
| ones included in the imported WAR file, based on your response to the prompt | |
| that is provided. In either case, this action does <i>not</i> represent a | |
| merging of the two sets of deployment descriptors. </p> <p>To import the | |
| Web project resources in a WAR file into your workspace, complete the following | |
| steps:</p></context> | |
| <steps> | |
| <step><cmd>Select <ph><menucascade><uicontrol>File</uicontrol><uicontrol>Import</uicontrol> | |
| </menucascade></ph>.</cmd></step> | |
| <step><cmd> In the Import dialog, select <ph><uicontrol>WAR file</uicontrol></ph> and | |
| then click <ph><uicontrol>Next</uicontrol></ph>. </cmd></step> | |
| <step><cmd>Locate the WAR file that you want to import using the <ph><uicontrol>Browse</uicontrol></ph> button.</cmd> | |
| </step> | |
| <step><cmd> The wizard assumes you want to create a new Web project with the | |
| same name as the WAR file. If you accept this choice, the project will be | |
| created with the same servlet version as specified by the WAR file and in | |
| the same location. If you want to override these settings, you can click <b>New</b> and | |
| specify your new settings in the Dynamic Web Project wizard.</cmd><info> <p>If | |
| you want to import the WAR file into an existing Web project, you can select | |
| the project from the Web project drop-down list. Note that if you select an | |
| existing project, you must decide whether you want to select the setting to <b>overwrite | |
| existing resources without warning</b></p></info></step> | |
| <step><cmd>Click <ph><uicontrol>Finish</uicontrol></ph> to populate the Web | |
| project.</cmd></step> | |
