You can create a WebApp component either top-down, bottom-up, by
bringing an existing Web application into the TIBCO ActiveMatrix platform.
Top-down approach:
You can configure the
component reference implementation using a WTP (Web Tools Platform) project
created in SOA Development Studio (SDS) during Generate Servlet Implementation.
Plugin project: use
this option to create an OSGi-enabled web application.
Bottom-up approach:
You bring an already existing Web application into the TIBCO
ActiveMatrix platform. The existing Web application can be a WAR (Web ARchive)
file, WTP project, or an OSGi-fied WebApp. If you start with an existing:
WAR file: you cannot
add Properties or References on a component. The DAA has the WAR file bundled
in it.
WTP project: you can
add Servlets, References, and properties if required. The WTP project is
exported into a WAR file and bundled inside the DAA.
