This section provides a roadmap for the decisions and tasks involved when configuring and coding an application for multisite functionality. It covers both creating new multisite applications as well as modifying existing applications to incorporate multisite functionality. If you have an existing application, this chapter assumes you have already migrated it to the latest ATG release, including updating the schema, so that you are starting with a non-multisite application with zero registered sites.
This section contains the following topics:
Additionally, this section uses examples from Commerce Reference Store to illustrate the information it provides. The Commerce Reference Store installation includes all of the Commerce Reference Store-specific source code, in the following locations:
Java class files are located in the
/srcsubdirectories of the various Commerce Reference Store application modules. For example, class files for Commerce Reference Store-specific extensions to the Commerce Fulfillment system are found in:<ATG10dir>/CommerceReferenceStore/Store/Fulfillment/src/More general functionality is found in:
<ATG10dir>/CommerceReferenceStore/Store/EStore/src/The Commerce Reference Store storefronts are run from two J2EE WAR files,
store.warandstoredocroot.war. JSPs, JavaScript files, and CSS files are located in subdirectories ofstore.war, while static HTML and image files are found in subdirectories ofstoredocroot.war. These WAR files are both found in:<ATG10dir>/CommerceReferenceStore/Store/Storefront/j2ee-
apps/Storefront/Throughout this manual, references to these files are always relative to this directory. So, for example,
store.war/browse/category.jsprefers to:<ATG10dir>/CommerceReferenceStore/Store/Storefront/j2ee-
apps/Storefront/store.war/browse/category.jsp
