Web Tools pathway 3

You already have an existing Web project, and you only want to create a JavaServer Page (JSP) page and add visual custom tags (VCTs). You also have a style sheet that already exists in the project, and you want to apply a cascading style sheet (CSS) to your page.

1. Begin by understanding the technologies, such as JavaServer Pages and VCTs.

2. Create a new JSP file. The new file opens in Page Designer.

3. Create the VCT, as follows:
   1. Create a visualizer plug-in.

   2. Update the plugin.xml.

4. Add your new VCT to your JSP page.

5. Now that your new JSP page contains the tags you want, consider the different ways to apply styles to the page. Because your CSS already exists, you simply need to apply the style sheet to the page.

6. Test your JSP page. After finishing developing your JSP page, you can test the page on a test server to preview the tags you have added as well as the style sheet you applied.
