In order to publish the storefront assets by copying them
directly to the WebSphere Commerce Server, the Web assets (HTML, JSP
files, images, and graphics) must be copied to the Stores Web application
document root. The resource bundles or properties files must be copied
to the application's properties path. The store configuration files
must be copied to the appropriate locations under the stores or tools
Web modules.
About this task
When you extract the starter store archives into the Stores
Web module, (retaining the path structure) the file assets will be
placed in the correct location. However, the properties files used
by the Change Flow notebook (StoreDirectory/devtools/flow/ui/*.properties)
must be copied to the ToolsStoresPropertiesPath defined in the WebSphere
Commerce configuration file.
Procedure
- Copy the JSP files, HTML, include files, images, and graphics
to the store directory (storedir) in the Stores
Web application document root:
- WC_eardir/Stores.war/storedir
- Copy the resource bundles and properties files to the application
properties path:
- WC_eardir/Stores.war/WEB-INF/classes/storedir
- Copy the store configuration files to the locations defined
in the WebSphere Commerce Configuration File
The store
configuration files are copied to the following locations:
- The store configuration XML files (WEB-INF/xml/tools/stores/storedir/devtools/flow/*)
are copied to the ToolsStoresXMLPath.
- The store configuration properties files are copied to the ToolsStoresPropertiesPath.
- If your store is based on a WebSphere Commerce starter
store, add the value located in the STORE_ID column of the STORE database
table to the
storeId
parameter in the parameters.jsp
file
in the following directory:
- WC_eardir/Stores.war/storedir/include
To view your store in a browser, launch the following URL: http://host
name/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/storedir/index.jsp.
