How to customize the WAR file
The following steps describe the general procedure for customizing an Information Console WAR file:
1 Create a temporary directory, such as C:/Temp/ic.
If you use an existing directory, ensure that this directory is empty.
2 Open a command window and type the following commands, replacing the X: drive letter with a drive letter appropriate to your system:
1 Copy the appropriate Information Console WAR file for your environment, such as TOMCAT_ActuateInformationConsole.war, to the temporary directory, as shown in the following example:
cd C:/Temp/ic
copy X:/TOMCAT_ActuateInformationConsole.war .
2 Decompress the file, as shown in the following example:
jar -xf TOMCAT_ActuateInformationConsole.war
The Information Console files appear in the temporary directory. Leave the Command window open.
3 Using a text editor that accepts UTF‑8 encoding, edit web.xml to configure Information Console for the application server.
If you used the temporary path in step
2, the file location is C:/Temp/ic/WEB-INF/Web.xml. Refer to
Table 7‑1 for a list of entries to modify in web.xml.
4 Save and close web.xml.
5 Type the following command:
jar -cf ../newinformationconsole.war *
This command creates newinformationconsole.war in the /temp directory. This new WAR file for Information Console contains the modified configuration values.
Use newinformationconsole.war to deploy Information Console to your application server.
About clusters of servers
If the application server supports clustering, see the application server documentation for more information about setting up clusters and deploying web applications such as Information Console.
