Viewlet Preferences


Akshay Panchakshari (37429) | asked Jul 12 '16, 7:14 a.m.
Hi All,

I am following this tutorials on creating custom viewlets https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/ViewletPreferences

But i am not able to get the preferences option in widget menu. I tried below steps to reload the plugin , but that did not worked for me-

01)Hit the below link to reset the server so that next time it will force your plugin to load and deploy

   https://localhost:9443/jts/admin/cmd/requestReset

02)Stop the server

03)Delete the work directory (In case of tomcat).

04)Start the server. (At this step your new plug-in should be deployed to server)

Can you please advice on this ?

Thank a lot.
Akshay P.

You should

  1. Work with Jetty for debugging, which would make redeploying unnecessary you might have to restart. see https://jazz.net/forum/questions/144479/rtc-extensions-not-loaded-after-restart-of-tomcat
  2. Restarting and requesting a reset for the server does not help if you don't provide fixed code. see https://jazz.net/forum/questions/223789/can-not-connect-to-ccm-application
  3. Because it is hard to find an issue on Tomcat, use Jetty. see 1.

PS: I did the same tutorial recently and that step worked for me (on Jetty).

Please note that I think the later tutorials like https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/ViewletServices can not be successfully run because of missing information.
