About Web Application Project Templates
You specify a project template at the time you create a new web application project.
A project template is a web application that provides you with a predefined set of components from which you can develop a full application. While a project template is not intended as a sample, it can give you an idea of how a web application goes together. When you create a web application, you can choose to begin with an empty project template, or with a Starter Web Application project template that contains the following:
default view Represents the home page for the web application. This page imports the header view file
header view Represents the view that contains navigation and other elements that should appear on each page in a web application. This view is imported into the default view and into any new views created for the web application.
login_error view Represents the page users are redirected to if a login fails authentication.
login view Represents the login page users are redirected to when attempting to open the default view file.
The Starter Web Application project template also includes a styles.css file. For more information about CSS files, see
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS).
