Normally, you have a project to develop that Java code.  You use WDSC's 
Export feature to export it to a JAR file, and if you want to use that in 
a web application, you just put the JAR file in your WEB-INF/lib folder of 
that application.

When you export, you can just export the JAR file right to that location.

If you are using a Studio 5.x IDE and WAS Express or WAS 5.x as your test 
environment, then there is also a setting in the Project properties of 
your web application where you can specify another Java project in your 
workspace as a "Library project".  Under the covers, it will make the 
compiled output from that application available to your web application in 
the test environment.  This can be helpful if you are doing a lot of 
active development in the project that creates the JAR file since you do 
not have to constantly export it to test.  However, when you do a live 
deployment, you still need to package it as a JAR under the /WEB-INF/lib 
folder.
