Migrating JSP files and store properties files

There are significant differences in version 5.6.1 JSP files and the JSP files in Version 7. Migrating the JSP files is performed differently depending on what stores you are using.

About this task

If you want to only use the new WebSphere Commerce Version 7.0 store, no action is required. If you are migrating from WebSphere Commerce Version 6, you can proceed directly to step 3 and copy your store properties files to your version 7 installation.

Procedure

To use only your original store:
1. Open WebSphere Commerce Developer Version 7.0. Open the Projects view.
2. Select the store project and click WebContent > WEB-INF. Double click the web.xml file and the Deployment Descriptor editor opens.
3. Click on Source typically located in the bottom of the Deployment Descriptor editor. The web.xml file is displayed.
4. Search for the <jsp-config></jsp-config> section of the web.xml file and add the following information:
```
<jsp-property-group> 
		<url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern> 
		<el-ignored>true</el-ignored> 
</jsp-property-group> 
```
  For example:
```
<jsp-config>
		<taglib>
			<taglib-uri>flow.tld</taglib-uri>
			<taglib-location>/WEB-INF/flow.tld</taglib-location>
		</taglib>
       <jsp-property-group> 
              <url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern>
              <el-ignored>true</el-ignored> 
       </jsp-property-group>
</jsp-config>
```
5. Save the file and exit.
To use your original store and a WebSphere Commerce Version 7.0 store concurrently, migrate the JSP files:
1. Conduct a global search and replace on the old store's JSP files and update the new taglib path from:
```
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/fmt" prefix="fmt" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>
```
  to
```
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/fmt" prefix="fmt" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>
```
2. Disable the JSP 2.0 EL support and use the JSTL 1.0 EL support, by performing the following steps:
  1. Open WebSphere Commerce Developer Version 7.0 and open the Project Explorer view.
  2. Select the store project and click WebContent > WEB-INF. Double-click the web.xml file and the Deployment Descriptor editor opens.
  3. Click on Source typically located in the bottom of the Deployment Descriptor editor. The web.xml file is displayed.
  4. If the section exists, remove from the web.xml file:
```
        <jsp-property-group>
            <url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern>
            <el-ignored>true</el-ignored>
        </jsp-property-group>
```
  5. Save the file and exit.
  6. Update your JSP pages. For further instructions on updating your JSP files, download the JSTL 1.0 and follow the instructions in Compatibility & Migration > A2 Migrating to JSTL 1.1.
After you migrate the JSP files, in order to get all of your store pages to work, complete the following steps to migrate the store properties files:
1. Navigate to the following directory on your WebSphere Commerce Version 5.6.1 or 6.0 machine:
  - WCDE_installdir\properties\tools\stores\store_name
2. Copy the directory and paste it into the WebSphere Commerce Version 7.0 directory:
  - workspace_dir\WC\properties\tools\stores\store_name
3. Navigate to the following directory on your WebSphere Commerce Version 5.6.1 machine:
  - workspace_dir\Stores\Web Content\WEB-INF\classes\store_name
4. Copy the directory and paste it into the WebSphere Commerce Version 7.0 directory:
  - workspace_dir\stores\src\store_name
5. Refresh your workspace and restart your server, if it was started.
