Understand the Client and Server Development Directory Structure

Knowledge of the development directory structure is required to understand where development artifacts are located, how they are organized, and where to store changes to these artifacts.

The following list describes the directories into which the client and server development artifacts are installed.

Client development artifacts are installed into the webclient directory.
Server development artifacts are installed into the EJBServer directory.

Within both the webclient directory and the EJBServer directory, there is a components subdirectory, which has a further subdirectory called custom. The custom subdirectory is where all project-specific development artifacts should be placed. The other components subdirectories contain all of the application development artifacts that are delivered with the product.

Important: The custom folder contains a starter structure for first usage and is referred to throughout developer documentation as the area in which all artifacts are developed. This convention is not mandatory and it is a project choice to develop within this component or create a new named component appropriate for your project.

Within the EJBServer\components\custom\model directory, there is a starter model file and some model fragments.
