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.
