There are two main types of development project:

  • Local Projects
  • Component-Based Projects

Local Projects

All the project resources are stored only in the file system of your PC. In projects of this type, you work on relatively small tasks or conduct tests. Moreover, you do not define any external interfaces to make your project available to other projects. The Java Development Infrastructure is not used for local projects.

Component-Based Projects

Component-based projects are development projects that have to split into several projects and given to a team of developers. In contrast to local projects, these are Development Component projects. This means that a development project is identified with a development component (DC). For more information, see Working with the Development Infrastructure .

Process Flow

Before you create a Web service:

  1. Import a development configuration into the Developer Studio (see also Development Configuration - Concepts ).
  2. Create a new DC component. Choose File → New → Other → Web Services → Development Component → Development Component Project. For more information, refer to the section Development Components (DCs) .
  3. Create the Web service in the DC framework. For EJBs, create an EJB Module DC Project . For Java classes, create a Java DC project. For Portal services, create Portal Application Module DC project.
  4. Check in the assigned activities. All project sources are updated on the DTR server.
