How to call a custom JSP in TS 6.1

nagappan

I am not able to call a custom JSP from a link in ui_custom File.
1) I created a custom JSP RedirectURL.jsp and put it in the path <iw-home>/local/config/lib/content_center/customer_src/src/
2) added the definition given below in the web.xml located in <iw-home>/local/config/lib/content_center/customer_src/etc
<servlet>
<servlet-name>RedirectURL</servlet-name>
<jsp-file>/RedirectURL.jsp</jsp-file>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>RedirectURL</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/iw/opendeploy/login</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
3) The ui_custom File had the following definition
<link id="cus.common.ODAdminGUI.link"
label="OpenDeploy GUI"
description="OD Admin GUI"
url="/iw/opendeploy/login"
target="_blank">

When I click the link from GUI am getting the error message as saying "unable to locate the /RedirectURL.jsp file".
I feel there is a problem in the mapping between the JSP location and the link.
Please any one can tell me wher to put a custom JSP and how.


Thank you

To call the JSP do the following:

1. move the JSP page into the following directory: $IW_HOME/local/config/lib/content_center/customer_src/web/customer

2. Remove the information that you added in web.xml

3. Change the entry in ui_custom.xml to look like this:

<link id="cus.common.ODAdminGUI.link"
label="OpenDeploy GUI"
description="OD Admin GUI"
url="/iw-cc/customer/RedirectURL.jsp"
target="_blank">

4. Rebuild the content_center web app using make_toolkit.ipl and make sure your JSP compiles

You should be able to test this now from the Content Center UI

It may be beneficial to move the URL into a sub directory underneath web/customer to separate it out from anything else that may be added.
