Deployment Example: Deploying and Customizing the Documentum Portlet

ProcedureConfiguring eRooms Portlets

  1. To configure Log4j, open $DOCUMENTUM/config/log4j.properties file and add the following lines into log4j.properties file.


    # Enable log messages from eRoom Portlets
    log4j.logger.com.documentum.eroom=DEBUG,eRoomAppender
    #eRoom Portlets Appender
    log4j.appender.eRoomAppender=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
    log4j.appender.eRoomAppender.File=<$Documentum>/logs/eRoomPortlets.log
    log4j.appender.eRoomAppender.MaxFileSize=500KB
    log4j.appender.eRoomAppender.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
    log4j.appender.eRoomAppender.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{HH:mm:ss} %p %c %m %n
  2. Create a directory, save the WAR file into this directory, and expand the WAR file.

    Use the jar command from JDK1.4.x. For example, type jar -xvf MyeRoom.war.

  3. Open WEB-INF/classes/com/documentum/eroom/utils/eRoom.properties file and change the path in portlet.eroom.server.path.

    For example, modify portlet.eroom.server.path=http://<eroom_server_hostname>/.

  4. From the top directory that contains the WAR file, create the WAR file that's ready for deployment.

    For example, type the following:


    rm MyeRoom.war
    jar -cvf MyeRoom.war *
