Abstract
A system, apparatus, and method for sharing web modules amongst a plurality of other web applications are provided. Shared web modules are stored in an archive data structure for use with web applications. The web applications, and/or the web modules of the web applications, may include a designation file that identifies the shared web modules that are to be incorporated into the web modules for the web application. A runtime component selectively locates these shared web modules and logically merges them with the web modules of the web application according to precedence or priority of the shared web modules as designated by the shared web module designation file. The result is a logically merged web module that contains the shared web modules referenced in the shared web module designation file.
