# How Do I: Create a New Project?

Before you can create a project, you must first create or open an application. To learn how to create an application, see How Do I: Create an Application?

You can create different types of projects within an application, including the following:

- A web project, which can contain JSPs and web services. It corresponds to a J2EE web application. The project name that you provide will be visible on the URL to clients accessing your application, so it should be descriptive.

- A Java project, which contains Java classes and a build script.

- A control project, which contains one or more Java controls.

To Create a Project in WebLogic Workshop

1. In the Application tab, click the top-level folder representing your application.

2. From the File menu, choose New-->Project. The New Project dialog appears.

3. In the upper-left pane, select a folder that corresponds to the kind of project you want to open, or just select All.

4. In the upper-right pane, select the kind of project you want to create.

5. In the Project Name field, enter the name you would like to give your new project. This name becomes part of the URL used to access pages and web services in the project. For example, for a deployed web service, the name you enter in the Project Name box corresponds to MyProject in the following URL:

   http://server:port/MyProject/MyService.jws

   For pages and services you are testing on your development computer, you will use a URL similar to the following:

   http://localhost:7001/MyProject/MyService.jws

   In addition to being part of the URL of all web services in the project, the project name is also used as the Java package name for all Java classes declared in the project. Therefore, the project name must be a valid Java identifier.
6. Click Create. A new folder is created in the application with the name you entered in step 5.
