Creating a Web Module

1. Mount a directory to contain the Web Application module.
2. Create a web module for an already mounted directory.
3. Switch to the iPlanet Application Server for deployment and execution.
4. Insert components into the web module, such as a JSP (HTML) page.
5. Edit the component as desired.

1. From the Explorer File menu, select New.

   The Template Chooser dialog appears.

2. Expand the JSP & Servlet node and select the WebModule node.
3. Select the Next button.
4. When the New... Web Module dialog appears, select the button to navigate to the directory you wish to use.
5. Select the web module directory and select Add.

   Additionally, you can create a new directory by selecting the Folder icon.

   A new Web Module is mounted.

1. Select the mounted directory.
2. Right click and select Tools -> Convert Filesystem into webmodule.

   A WEB-INF directory appears as a subnode to the mounted directory.

3. Right click on the newly converted web module node and select New -> JSP & Servlet -> WebModule.
