The New Dynamic Web Project frame will be displayed (see Figure
8-4
). At this screen, you can specify what type
of server the application will run on. Notice that RAD has identified the latest WebSphere Application Server version,
in this case 6.1, as the target. Also, RAD assumes you want to package this project in an EAR (Enterprise ARchive file).
Just as JARs provide an easy way to package client-based applications, EARs hold applications that have both server
and client-based components. The EAR contains JARs that contain the client components and WARs (Web ARchive
files) that hold the server-based components (Web pages, servlets, JSPs, etc.). If you don't want RAD to generate an
EAR, simply uncheck the option.
