1. In your DLP project, choose the J2EE Components tab.
2. Choose  J2EE Components  Add Web . The Load WAR dialog box appears. Type a name for the archive.
   Note

   Use unique WAR names in a project.

3. Enter a display name for the Web archive in the Archive Name field.
4.  

   If You Want To	Then
   Create a new WEB archive	Check the Create New checkbox.
   Load an existing Web archive	Check the Load Existing checkbox. You also have to select from the file system the deployment descriptor of the WAR in the web.xml File field.

5. In the Files Directory field, enter the directory of the class files to be included in the WAR. You should point to the parent directory of the directory from which the project path begins. You can specify this directory later. For more details, see Managing Files and Directories
   Note

   See J2EE Web Application for more information about the directory structure of the Web archive files.

6. To close the Load WAR dialog box, choose OK.

The Web archive appears as a node at the J2EE Components tab. If you have added an existing Web archive, the components described in the deployment descriptor will appear too.

You can remove or add to the archive new or existing components. For more information, see Web Component Addition.
