  3. Define the BTT Channel Application project structure.

      1. If Channel Type is not Rich Client, RCS Membership is disabled.
      2. If Channel Type is Rich Client, RCS Membership is enabled. You can input RCS project name to RCS Project Name field or browse all exist RCS project in the workspace.
    • CCL Membership. CCL is the abbreviation for Common Channel Logic worked as logic layer of all the WARs. You can set in CCL RCS Membership to generate CCL project.
      1. If Add CCL to Project is checked, CCL Project Name field is enabled; otherwise CCL Project Name field is disabled.
      2. User can input CCL project name to CCL Project Name field or browse all exist CCL projects in the workspace.

        The generated CCL project has the following files:

        This figure lists all the generated CCL project files.

        After channel application project is generated, the CCL project is added to Web Library dependency of the channel application project (server side).

    • Enterprise Application project (EAR Project). A new or existing Enterprise Application project (EAR Project) must be associated with your new Web project to facilitate deployment. If you want to override the default settings for the Enterprise Application project, you can do that using the wizard. When your Web project is created at the end of the wizard, the new Enterprise Application project is also created with the name specified in the EAR project field. Note that the default name is the name of the web project appended with EAR (unless the ear project was selected when you open the wizard.)

      The generated EAR project has the following files:

      This figure lists all the generated EAR project files.

  4. Specify the BTT Channel Application project content when you create Rich Client channel.
