Hi, Group,
I am new to iPlanet Portal customization. As I am evaluating ways to
develop a customed provider, I came across the JSPProvider. I cannot
find anywehre in the documentation mentioned how to make a customized
JSP provider available to the available channels list. Will someone
share the knowledge?
Thanks in advance!
Nancy
Nancy,
To see example JSP's used for the sample JSP provider, iwtSampleJSP, you
can go to /etc/opt/SUNWips/sample/default/desktop. In this directory,
three files reside, sampleedit.jsp, samplecontent.jsp, and
sampledoedit.jsp. The JSPProvider class extends the
ProfileProviderAdapter see javadocs for available methods and member
values. To create a JSPProvider, you can use the Desktop Channel Wizard
in the Admin Console -- login to admin console, click on Manage Domains,
select the domain for which you want to create the JSPProvider, click on
"Desktop Channel Wizard" under Profiles, enter a channel name and
description and a provider type (in this case Java Server Page), click
Next, enter the values you want for the title, background color, and
filenames for the content, edit, and process edit JSP pages (see Java
Server Page Provider section of SP2 release notes --
http://docs.iplanet.com/docs/manuals/portal/30/REL_NOTEiPS3SP2.html#18953
), and click on Finish to create your JSPProvider channel -- this process
may take several minutes depending on the capabilities of the system on
which your iPS server resides. Click on Continue. You should see your
newly created channel in the Available Channels list in the Desktop
profile for your domain.
