|
| 2.
| In the next window, enter the following information:
|
|
a.
WAR file: browse to C:\LabFiles\Struts Cooperative Portlets\Echo.war
|
|
b.
Web project: enter EchoTarget

The EchoSource and EchoTarget portlet applications use the same UID so it will cause an error executing the portlets. To fix this problem expand EchoTarget/WebContent/WEB-INF folder and open the portlet deployment descriptor file (portlet.xml). In the portlet deployment descriptor editor, select Source panel, change the last digit of the UID for this portlet application and save your changes.
For example, in this sample scenario, the last digit was 0 and it was changed to 1, as highlighted in Example 27-6.

It is recommended that you change the portlet title to identify each portlet when they will be on the same page. Follow these steps for each resource bundle:
| 1.
| Open the resource bundles (EchoPortletResource properties file), located in the EchoTarget/Java Resources/JavaSource/echo.nl directory.
|
| 2.
| Add a title in the line javax.portlet.title. For example:
| javax.portlet.title=Echo Target portlet
