The Identity Manager user application is packaged as a J2EE-compliant Web Application Archive (WAR) file. The user application WAR file contains a collection of Java classes and XML files that control the runtime behavior of the application. In general, the WAR should not be modified. However, in rare situations, you may find it necessary to open the WAR file and make minor changes to control the behavior of the application.
NOTE:The remainder of this appendix presumes familiarity with J2EE concepts and procedures. If you are unsure about how to make changes within a WAR file, consult your J2EE documentation.
