Building War from Studio

Overview​

WaveMaker allows you to generate a WAR (Web Application Archive) directly from the Studio using the Project as WAR option. This approach is suitable when you want to package the application using the build configuration defined within the Studio.

Introduction​

A WAR build packages the WaveMaker web application into a single deployable archive. The build process uses a selected configuration profile, which determines the build options and environment-specific settings applied during the build.

Generate WAR Using WaveMaker Studio​

To generate a WAR file from the WaveMaker Studio:

  1. Open your application in WaveMaker Studio
  2. Click on Export Project
  3. Select Project as WAR
  4. Choose the required configuration profile (for example, development, deployment, or a custom profile)
  5. Start the export process

The WAR file is generated based on the selected profile and its configured build options.
