13<p>Web projects hold all of the Web resources that are created and used when
14developing your Web application. The first step to creating or importing a
15Web application is to create either a static or a dynamic Web project. Static
16Web projects are meant to contain only simple Web site resources, such as
17HTML files. Dynamic Web projects are used to structure Web applications that
18will use more complicated, dynamic Web technologies, such as JavaServer Pages
19files, and possibly data access resources.</p>
20<p>Though the Web project is structured on your file system in compliance

kprice9c922d82006-08-30 22:07:19 +000022Explorer view is designed to show the most convenient display of project resources
23for use while you are actually developing the Web application. When you are
24finished developing your Web application, you use the Web project to deploy
25the correct resources to the server. These resources will be packaged in a
26file called a Web archive, or WAR file.</p>
