Sample: Web Application (HelloUserWikExample)

Step 1: Create the Directory Structure

The following directory structure was used to create the HelloUserWikExample application:

This directory structure will be used in Step 6 to create a WAR file for the application. The structure includes the following directories and subdirectories:

Directory	Contents
app_work (root)	This directory serves as a development area for the Web application.
/jsp	This directory contains the display page called `app.jsp`.
/WEB-INF	This directory contains the Web application deployment descriptor file. The name of this file must be `web.xml`.
/WEB-INF/conf	This directory contains the services properties files, which point to the locations of definitions for locally and remotely deployed SAS Foundation Services.
/WEB-INF/lib	This directory contains the JAR files that are used by the JSP page. This directory should contain all the JAR files that are located in the portal's `Portal/WEB-INF/lib` directory.
