Create a JSP component

You create a JSP component when you want to reuse a section of JSP in multiple places in your Web site.

1. From an authoring portlet, click New > Component > JSP .

2. Enter identification information for the component.

3. Enter the path to the JSP file. The path must begin with a forward slash.

   For example:

   /path/jspfilename.jsp
   

   Storing JSP Files

   JSP files can be located:

   • within the PROFILE_HOME/installedApps/node-name/wcm.ear/ilwwcm.war directory of your server.

     The JSP page is also stored in the client war directory of the local rendering portlet or of the servlet or portlet that calls the JSP, if using the Web Content Management API. For example, to render a JSP page on a local rendering portlet, you would also need to store a copy of the JSP file under PROFILE_HOME/installedApps/node-name/PA_WCMLocalRendering.ear/ilwwcm-localrende.war

   • within any other Web application running on portal. When referencing JSP files in another Web application, use the following path: contextPath;jspPath

     For example: /wps/customapplication;/jsp/editor.jsp

4. Enter an error message to display when an incorrect JSP path is entered. A Java exception stack trace will be displayed if there is syntax error.

5. If workflows are enabled for components, select a workflow.

6. Set access properties.

7. Save the component form.
