Content and structure A WAR file may be digital signature digitally signed in the same way as a JAR file in order to assert that the code is trusted. There are special files and directories within a WAR file. The WEB INF directory in the WAR file contains a file named web.xml which defines the structure of the web application. If the web application is only serving JSP files, the web.xml file is not strictly necessary. If the web application uses servlets, then the servlet container uses web.xml to ascertain to which Java Servlet servlet a Uniform Resource Locator URL request is to be routed. web.xml is also used to define context variables which can be referenced within the servlets and it is used to define environmental dependencies which the deployer is expected to set up. An example of this is a dependency on a mail session used to send email. The servlet container is responsible for providing this service. Advantages of WAR files easy development, testing and deployment the version of the deployed application is easily identified all J2EE containers support .WAR files One disadvantage of web deployment using WAR files in very dynamic environments is that minor changes cannot be made during runtime. Any change whatsoever requires regenerating and redeploying the entire WAR file. The following sample web.xml file demonstrates how a Java Servlet servlet is declared and associat ... more details
About managing the value of assets information on recovering the proceeds of corruption stored in foreign jurisdictions International Asset Recovery Asset Recovery, also called investment recovery or resource recovery, is the process of maximizing the value of unused or end of life assets through effective reuse or divestment. Both large and small organizations practice asset recovery at some level with the end goal of obtaining the greatest possible return from the asset . While sometimes referred to in the context of a company that is being liquidated, Asset Recovery is also used to describe the process of liquidating excess inventory of healthy companies, refurbished items and equipment returned at the end of a lease. The asset recovery process has three main parts idle asset identification, redeployment, and divestment. Asset recovery can also refer to the task of recovery of assets that have been wrongfully taken either stolen, fraudulently misappropriated or otherwise disposed of to remove them from their rightful owner. Idle Asset Identification One of the most important parts of the asset recovery process is idle asset identification. Assets that are not put to productive use end up costing money. It is important that these assets be classified as idle by investment recovery personnel. Later, a decision can be made whether to redeploy or divest the asset. Surplus Assets could be in any form, including fixed equipment, mobile equipment, buildings, and land. Idle or Surplus assets can also be identified as either Capital Assets or non capital surplus. Asset recovery can also refer to the task of recovery of assets that have been wrongfully taken either stolen, fraudulently misappropriated or otherwise disposed of to remove them from their rightful owner. Internal Redeployment Redeploying an idle asset to another part of an organization is often the most productive use for the asset. Asset redeployment also saves the organization money by eliminating the need t ... more details
