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. It is also part of Enterprise Java, meaning that WildFly supports it out of the box. WildFly 8 supports the JSF release 2.2 using the Mojarra implementation.
