Completing a User Inbox

To complete the development of your custom User Inbox:

  1. Compile your User Inbox classes.
  2. Create and sign a Java Archive (JAR) file that includes the customized User Inbox.
  3. Deploy the JAR file on the Application Engine server. Once deployed, you must create a JavaServer Pages (JSP) event page to make the User Inbox available to the Content Platform Engine server. In addition, you must create a JSP view (UI) page. See the Deploying Java Applications.
  4. Use the Process Designer to add the application to the workflow if your application is for any of the following items:
    • A step
    • A launch step
    • A submap in a workflow (such as a Step Processor)
  5. Run your application.
