Registering the sample widgets to a runtime is the second step to working with the provided sample widgets.
You register the sample widgets to notify the runtime that the widgets are available. Unlike an application that can be deployed to a runtime and then run, widgets require a registration procedure or they remain deployed but not visible to the user.
To register the sample widgets with the runtime, follow these steps. In our example, we were registering the sample widgets with the WebSphere Process Server in WebSphere Integration Developer. You work at the file system level when registering your widgets. If your server is running, stop it, while you complete these steps. Once finished restart your server.
Now that you have registered your sample widgets, you can begin working with them as described in Working with the sample widgets.
