Creating a WebFacing portlet project

Note: WebFacing Portal support is an optional installation and has its own prerequisites. Please see the Host Access Transformation Services Installation Guide for more information.

To create a WebFacing portlet project:

  1. Click File > New > Project.
  2. Expand WebFacing in the Wizards pane, select WebFacing Portlet Project, and then click Next to open the WebFacing Portlet project wizard.
  3. In the WebFacing Portlet Project wizard:
    1. Enter a name for your project in the Project name field.
    2. Select a portal server in the Target Runtime combo box.
    3. Ensure that the Add project to an EAR check box is selected. A default name for the EAR project will be provided. You can change the EAR project name or keep the default.
    4. Ensure the Create a portlet check box is checked. You can also change the portlet name or keep the default.
      Note: If you select Show advanced settings, the next few screens will also allow you to specify advanced project settings.
