Hai i am new to Documentum . Can someone tell the difference between app.xml and web.xml and whats the purpose of the both
Thanks

web.xml
A WDK based J2EE Web application has a root directory which contains a WEB-INF folder. This folder has a web.xml file containing configuration information for the web application. This is mandated by the J2EE Servlet Specification
app.xml
A WDK application is a folder within the main J2EE Web application root directory. If you see your webtop folder, it contains the following four WDK applications. custom, webcomponent,wdk and webtop
Each Application will have its own app.xml. Inheritance is controlled by the <application> tag in the app.xml file of the WDK application
The following are the application tags for a standard webtop installation:
- custom <application extends="webtop/app.xml">- webtop <application extends="webcomponent/app.xml">- webcomponent <application extends="wdk/app.xml">- wdk <application>
The ‘wdk’ WDK application does not inherit from any layers as it the core framework.
For each webtop/DA installation, there is one web.xml and four app.xml.
