Before you start customizing the application, it is important to understand how to edit an deploy the JSP files. The guidelines for customizing JSP files are as follows:
Do not edit JSP files directly in your production web server. Instead, make and test changes in a development environment.
Make a backup copy of the JSP file.
Edit the JSP file with any HTML and text editor. Typically, HTML editors do not work well for JSP files because of the amount of embedded Java code. In general when editing a JSP file, be careful not to edit Java code.
After completing your edits, you can optionally compile the JSP file. Because the JSP file contains both HTML and Java code, this compilation ensures that you have not introduced any syntax errors.
Restart the web container for the changes to take effect.
