Changing the view engine

BlueZone Java Web Manager provides a choice of two view engines: Velocity and JavaServer Pages. The view engine controls the look of the Web Manger's HTML pages.

By default, the Velocity view engine is selected. To change the view engine, follow this procedure:

Using Notepad or other text editor, locate and open the following file:

[jwm root]/WEB-INF/swm.properties

Scroll down the page and locate the following section:

##
#  hosts view engine
#     0 = Velocity
#     1 = Java Server Pages
##
hosts.view.engine=0
#hosts.view.engine=1

Modify hosts.view.engine to use the value 0 (zero) for Velocity or 1 (one) for JavaServer Pages.

Reload the Web Manager in the servlet container.

Note

It is important to know that the files used to generate the view are located at the root of the Web Manger and are named Hosts.vm and Hosts.jsp. You can modify these files to customize the look of the login screen and the launch page.

You can modify the Hosts.vm or Hosts.jsp as desired to create a custom look and feel to the Hosts Launch screen.
