Now that you have generated a portlet app named express-demo, we are ready to integrate the new portlets into our system. This is done by adding the portlets to the portal pages. These pages are also known as PSML files. Your pages makeup the navigational site of your system. The new pages we are going to add will have references to the new portlets added in the express-demo portlet applications. Of course users can use the Portlet Selector and Jetspeed Customizer to select portlets interactively. Here we are setting up the collection of pages that will always be a part of your portal. The file-system tree-like collection of pages is known as your portal site
We provide a quick Ant task to copy in the new, preconfigured pages:
# Linux
cd /JetspeedTraining/workspace/jetexpress/
# Windows
cd \JetspeedTraining\workspace\jetexpress\
ant copy-page-resources
Open up some of the pages found under portal/src/webapp/WEB-INF/pages/. You will see that we've added a new Contact Us page, and added the some new demo portlets the the default page. We have also changed the default themes and decorators for all administrative pages.
Go ahead and deploy those changes:
ant
This will deploy your new pages. Refresh the portal home page to see the new portlets:
Likewise for the desktop:
