Adding and changing messages

You can add new messages or change existing messages in starter store pages by modifying the file containing the store strings.

Procedure

  1. Backup the existing file. Backing up this file effectively ensures that any unwanted changes can safely be undone by reverting to the original file.

    It is located in the following directories:

    • For IBM i OS operating systemSolarisLinuxAIXWindowsWC_eardir\Stores.war\WEB-INF\classes\store_directory
    • WebSphere Commerce Developerworkspace_dir\Stores\WebContent\WEB-INF\classes\store_directory
    Where store_directory is the directory name of your store. 
  2. Open the file.
  3. Add or change the existing messages in the properties file. Your new or updated strings represent the new text appearing in your store.
  4. Save your changes.
  5. Restart the WebSphere Commerce Server.

Results

Your file is now included in starter store pages. Ensure the updated messages appear correctly in the storefront.
