After you have deployed the EAR file to the server and
registered your widgets, you can test them.
- Start your server.
- Launch a Web browser for Business Space widgets. For example,
launch a browser with a URL like http://localhost:9080/BusinessSpace.
The port number will depend on what other server products you have.
Typically, 9080 or higher will work. Login to Business Space.
- At this point testing your widgets follows the same process
as shown in Working with the sample widgets.
Our widgets were simple though they demonstrated the important
concept of using events to communicate between widgets. Your needs
for your own widgets will be different. You should browse the
Widget programming guide to
get links to the iWidget specification that is the basis for Business
Space widgets and to understand some areas that are unique to Business
Space widgets.
