Entire System in One WAR File!One last and cool thing to note is that the Time Expression deployable web application archive files (timex.war and timex2.war) contain 100% of the Time Expression system (as depicted in Figure 10.9). Recall that these WAR files can be built using our Ant build.xml script or Eclipse's export feature (see Chapter 8 for details). Figure 10.9. timex.wara fully self-contained system.
The cool aspect is that this war contains all our Java source code and compiled classes, static and dynamic web files, the dependencies (third-party libraries), job scheduling capabilities, and even a relational database! The point I'm trying to make is that this is the power of Java. There are very few languages that you can do this in. |
