Customize the UDDI User Console (GUI)

 

The look and feel of the UDDI Console is determined by the styles defined in the uddi_gui.css file which is located in the /gui.war/theme directory of the installed UDDI Registry application directory. The UDDI Registry The UDDI Registry application directory will be one of the following, depending on where you have installed the UDDI Registry:

• If you have installed the UDDI Registry into an appserver within a Deployment Manager cell, the directory is UDDIReg.ear under the /apps directory of the configuration repository for the cell.

• If you have installed the UDDI Registry into a single appserver which is not part of a Deployment Manager cell, the directory is UDDIRgistry.ear under the installedApps directory of the WebSphere Application Server in which you have installed the UDDI registry application.

The contents of this file can be edited to change the colors, fonts and font sizes according to the user's preference.

The content and layout of the UDDI User Console is provided by JSP pages, which can be customized by a programmer who is familiar with JSPs. The JSP pages are found in the uddi.ear enterprise application, which is under the installedApps subdirectory of the WebSphere AppServer installation. To locate the JSPs, expand the UDDI_Registry.ear, open the gui.war, and they are located under WEB-INF in the pages subdirectory. So, on a Windows system which has WebSphere installed in the default location, the JSP files will be found in "<WebSphere-install-dir>\installedApps\UDDI_Registry.ear\gui.war\WEB-INF\pages". These JSP pages also contain some application logic (as opposed to presentation logic) which should not be changed.
