Chapter 4. Migrate JSF and Struts projects from *.war file

4.1. JSF
4.2. Struts

After you familiarized oneself with last chapter you can read this chapter. It looks as if you read in last chapter.



  • In the wizard screen, select the Change... button next to the *.war Location field. Browse to the location of the *.war file for the application you want to import as a JSF project. Once you select it, you'll be returned to the dialog box to see a project name derived from the *.war file you selected. You can edit this name, if you wish.

    Uncheck the Use Default Path check box if you want to import your project outside of the Eclipse workspace. In this case, you would use Change... button next to the Location field to choose a location.

    Context Path is the name under which the application will be deployed.

    The Runtime value tells Eclipse where to find Web libraries in order to build the project. It is not possible to finish project import without selecting Runtime. If you don't have any options here, select New... to add a new Runtime.

    Finally, Target Server sets the server to deploy the application under. The Target Server corresponds to the Runtime value selected above. If you don't want to deploy the application, uncheck this value.


  • Click on the Finish button.



  • Follow the same steps as with the JSF Project From *.war import wizard.


  • Click on the Finish button.

The migration process is completed
