2. Create Java classes.
   Create the two classes required for the application.
   
   

   • Create the data class.

   • Create the logic class.
     
     

3. Create a servlet class

   • Associate the project and the server.
     Set the server on which the application is deployed.
     
     

   • Set the breakpoints.
     Set the breakpoints for the debugger to verify the program behavior during execution.
     
     

   • Launch the server.
     Launch the server so that the application can receive requests from Web browsers. Deployment is performed automatically before the server starts.
     
     

   • Execute the application.
     Launch the Web browser and access the application URL to start verifying the behavior of the application.
     
     

   • Debug the application.
     Debug the program and verify that the application is behaving correctly.
     
     

6. Distribute the application to the operating environment.
   Use the following procedures to distribute the application to the operating environment:
   
   

   • Export the application.
     Create a WAR file to distribute the application to the operating environment.
