Setting up the development environment

Set up your integrated development environment (IDE) for developing and debugging console modules.

You can use the Integrated Solutions Console Visual Designer feature to create the portal topology and security deployment descriptors needed to enable portlet applications to run in the administrative console environment. Visual Designer is available for download at http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg24011666. This feature is supported using one of the following IDEs.

After you download Visual Designer, you can install it to your development environment like any other feature. Refer to the documentation for your IDE for more information.

As you test your console modules, you might discover that changes that you make to the JSP files are not rendered when you log in to the application server. If so, you probably need to check the reloadingEnabled attribute in the extended deployment descriptor for the module (ibm-web-ext.xmi or ibm-web-ext.xml) Make sure this value is set to true to enable the JSP file to reload each time you deploy a new change. See Hot deployment and dynamic reloading for more information.
