Hi All,
I have completed a set of customizations designed for Webtop 6.5. I was able to achieve this through the perfect support of this community, so a huge thank you . Now since i carried out my customizations through eclipse, i added my custom code ( jsp's and configurations) inside the cutom folder that was empty inside the original war i obtained through the EMC website.Also i added my custom java code inside the custom classes area along with other class packages- my classes inside a separate package.
This was from the coding point of view.Now in the ultimate war file that i exported from eclipse say Webtop_mine.war, i have the functional changes all working fine. And in the next step lies my question.
Are there any specific changes to be carried out to prepare a fresh war file with just my customizations.Here are the steps i carried out:
1) Downloaded a fresh webtop.war from the EMC website
2) Copied the custom folder from inside my Webtop_mine.war and replaced the empty custom folder inside the fresh war.
3) Copied the package containing my java classes inside my Webtop_mine.war and added them into the fresh war's classses folder.
4) Added a JAR file inside the lib from inside my Webtop_mine.war to the fresh war. The task of this JAR file is to call web services required my application.
5) Modified the content server address inside the fresh webtop.war's dfc.properties to pont to my content server.
With all these changes made i logged in to the system successfully and was able to see my modified menubar items on the landing page.
But when i tried to access my functionalities on the click of the menubar items, i got a class not found exception pertaining to 'axis' . ( i will be able to print the exact error shortly.)
Viewing the axis in the stacktrace , appears to be related to webservices.
So are the 5 steps i have mentioned above enough to prepare a new war or am i missing something?
Looking forward for your repsonses and support.
Thanks & Regards
Vishnu Soman
