Packaging themes for deployment


You must repackage the static content as a WAR file, or an EAR file containing the WAR file when it is not possible to exchange the static content with the Operations Team as a separate compressed file.

Create a custom theme before starting this process. To create a theme based on the 8.0 theme see Create a copy of the theme.

Create and collect the required code artifacts, the scripts to register the theme and skins, and the list of required runtime configuration changes. Create an EAR file containing one WAR file containing the dynamic content of the theme and one WAR file containing the static content.

If you performed additional changes, like deleting files or changing file names, then you need to map the following steps accordingly.

Cache headers are not automatically set for static files served from a war file. External means, like overwriting headers in the HTTP Server, need to be used in this case.
