The project WAR template

Quick Links to:

Picking a projectName and a projectArtifactId

The first thing that must be done is to pick a projectName and a projectArtifactId.  These will be used throughout the life time of your project.

The projectName is a short acronym that is used to uniquely identify your project.
The projectArtifactId is the application context under which your project war file will be deployed to the OC4J server.

Once the projectName and projectArtifactId have been selected, they should not be changed.

Here are a few examples of what other project have used in the past:
