Creating and deploying a web application

As you can see, the application server provides a relatively straightforward way to configure the web container. In order to build and deploy a web application, it would be good for you to learn how to organize an application along with its specific configuration files.

WildFly 8 is a Java EE 7 compliant application server and thus, can be used to deploy a wide range of web applications. One way of building a web application is to use the JavaServer Faces (JSF) technology, which is an evolution of the JSP technology.
