h1. Hello World Web App Sample

TBC

This sample application shows how to set up the most basic Java Web application in z2. 

Z2 integrates with the Jetty Web container and Web applications on Z2 are really just standard Java EE Web applications. What is unfamiliar for the typical Maven, Gradle, or Ant user is how applications are developed and modularized on Z2. So this sample case is hence more about Web applications as developed on Z2 than it is about Web application development.
