Modifying existing JSPs files to interact with new JSP files

Once you add a new JSP to a storefront, modify other existing storefront pages to interact with the new file. This is accomplished by creating links from existing JSP files to the new JSP file.

Before you begin

• Create and register your new JSP file

• Determine on which pages to create links to the new JSP file.

• Defined any store text to use in the store text properties file.

Procedure

1. Open WebSphere Commerce Developer

2. In the Enterprise Explorer view, expand Stores > WebContent > storeName

3. Continue to navigate to the subdirectory that contains the JSP file to modify.

4. Add code similar to the following example to create a URL link. In this example the link connects to a registered view called RecipeSection.

           
   <c:url var="RecipeSectionURL" value="RecipeSection">             
   <c:param name="langId" value="${langId}" />             
   <c:param name="storeId" value="${WCParam.storeId}" />             
   <c:param name="catalogId" value="${WCParam.catalogId}" />             
   <c:param name="categoryId" value="${topCategory.categoryId}" />             
   <c:param name="isRecipeSection" value="true" />         
   </c:url>         
   
   <a href="<c:out value="${RecipeSectionURL}" />" class="m_link"
               id="WC_CachedHeaderDisplay_Link_10"><fmt:message key="ProjectsType"
               bundle="${storeText}" /></a>
   
   

   In the preceding example, five parameters are supplied to the new page. The "isRecipeSection" is an example of a custom parameter that can be used on the RecipeSection page.

5. Test the the customization by navigating through the links you have created.
