The sip.xml file for a SIP project provides the information necessary for deploying a SIP application module. This information is used in building a Servlet ARchive (SAR) file from a project. Whenever a new SIP project is created, the SIP Project wizard places the sip.xml file in the WEB-INF directory of the project. Double-click the file to open it. The SIP deployment descriptor editor opens in the editing pane.
To edit the deployment descriptor, click the tabbed pages to locate attributes that you want to add, edit, or remove. In addition, the sections in the Overview page contain links to existing elements of the deployment descriptor. Click the links to open the appropriate editor page to make updates or additions.
The SIP deployment descriptor editor includes the following tabbed pages, each of which you can edit:
The sip.xml file can update automatically to reflect changes to your SIP project. For instance, when you use the New SIP Servlet wizard to create a new SIP servlet in a SIP project, the wizard places the appropriate servlet entry into the sip.xml file.
