The Combined.xml file
This article applies to USoft 9.0 only. In USoft 9.1 and later, the Combined.xml file has been replaced by the Combined JSON Object.
The application.xml document
When you publish a web application from USoft Web Designer, an "application.xml" file is added to the publication’s \\WebSite folder. This file is generated at Publish time: it does not exist in the default publication of your USoft installation.
Published CSS files
You can use cascading style sheets (CSS) to define a set of styles that override the browser standard HTML styles. For example, you could use a cascading style sheet to set a specific font style, size, and color attribute for all H1 elements in HTML files. Cascading style sheets also let you adjust layout and formatting for HTML elements or for entire documents, for example line spacing, justification, and border properties.
Published JSON files
The published JSON (= JavaScript Object Notation) files, with file extension .js, contain jQuery instructions that allow client browsers to build the correct application behavior including the required data interaction. The content is generated from information stored in the Web Designer repository.
Published XML Files
The published XML files reflect the internal page structure and presentation definitions of the published pages. The content is generated from information stored in the Web Designer repository.

Running your web application
Once you have published your web pages and started the Rules Service, you can run the published pages.
