Packaging Web Modules

A web module must be packaged into a WAR in certain deployment scenarios and whenever
you want to distribute the web module. You package a web module into a WAR by executing
the jar command in a directory laid out in the format of a web module, by using the Ant utility,
or by using the IDE tool of your choice. This tutorial shows you how to use NetBeans IDE or
