Directory structure for IBM WebSphere Portlet Factory Web applications

The directory structure of WebSphere Portlet Factory is similar to that of any Web application.

The directory structure has a document root in which all its static HTML and other servable resources reside. Depending on the application server, the document root, also known as the servable content root directory, is similar to one of the following locations.

Tomcat

For portlets and widgets

c:\tomcat\webapps\ear_dir\war_dir

IBM® WebSphere Application Server

For portlets and widgets

c:\WebSphere\AppServer\installedApps\ear_dir\war_dir

IBM Lotus® Mashups

For widgets only

c:\ProgramFiles\IBM Mashup Center\mm_server\installedApps\IBM-node_cell_number\ear_dir\war_dir

Web applications generated by IBM WebSphere Portlet Factory adhere to the architecture for all J2EE applications. HTML pages, images, and other servable resources reside somewhere below the servable content root directory that is set up by WebSphere Portlet Factory.
