  <para>Web designers in charge of JSP pages and software developers providing
  servlets can consult the Web Application Programmer's Guide.</para>

  <para>The <link xlink:href="web_pg.html#web.component">Developing Web
  Components</link> guide explains how to construct Web components, as well as
  how to access Enterprise Beans from within the Web Components.</para>

  <para>Deployment descriptor specification is presented in the <link

  Descriptor</link> chapter.</para>

  <para>Web components can be used as Web application components or as Java EE
  application components. In both cases, a WAR file will be created, but the
  content of this file is different in the two situations. In the first case,
  the WAR contains the Web components and the Enterprise Beans. In the second
  case, the WAR does not contain the Enterprise Beans. The EJB JAR file
  containing the Enterprise Beans is packed together with the WAR file
  containing the Web components, into an EAR file. Principles and tools for
  providing WAR files are presented in <link
  xlink:href="web_pg.html#web.packaging">WAR Packaging</link> and the <link
  xlink:href="deployer_guide.html#deploy.applis">Deployment and Installation
  Guide</link>.</para>
