Packaging portlets
When development is complete, portlets are packaged into WAR files for deployment to the WebSphere Portal Server.
Before you begin
- Develop, customize, and test your portlet in Rational Application Developer.
- Open Rational Application Developer.
- From the Enterprise Explorer view, right-click the portlet project and select Export > WAR file. The Export wizard opens.
- On the WAR Export page, enter the destination directory for the WAR file. A default name for the WAR file is automatically provided, but you can change it.
- Do not select the Export Source files check box to exclude source files in the WAR file.
- Select the Overwrite existing file to automatically replace an existing WAR file for this project.
- Click Finish.
