WebWork has several tools that can help when developing WebWork-based applications. Some of these, such as the Config Browser, are used within your web applications. Others, such as those run from in webwork.jar, are used at build-time.

Runtime tools

  1. Config Browser
  2. Debugging inside WebWork - Debuggability of your Application

Build-time tools

WebWork comes with various related tools included in the webwork jar file. You can access these tools by simply unpacking the WebWork distribution and running java -jar webwork.jar. WebWork will automatically include all jars in the same directory as the webwork.jar file as well as all jars in the lib directory. This means you can invoke these tools either from within the standard directory structure found in the WebWork distribution, or from within your WEB-INF/lib directory.

You can access the help information for these tools by simply running the jar without any arguments.
