  Global Web Deployment Descriptor (GWD) is a configuration file used in SAP's BC-JAS-WEB Web Container, HTTP, JavaMail, JSP, and Servlet components. It is used to define the settings and parameters for the web application. It is an XML file that contains information about the web application such as its name, version, and the resources it needs to run. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The GWD file is used to configure the web application. It contains information about the web application such as its name, version, and the resources it needs to run. The GWD file can be edited using a text editor or an XML editor. Once the GWD file is edited, it must be deployed to the web server for the changes to take effect.

  When editing the GWD file, make sure to save a backup copy of the original file before making any changes. This will ensure that you can revert back to the original settings if something goes wrong.
