How to test SAP ESS Login screen modifications in NWDS or Eclipse

[vinay_kumar66]

Hello Experts,

I have a requirement to change the ESS LogonPage styling and layout. I have downloaded the Portal logon Page war file and imported into Eclipse and made required changes. I want to test the war file before deploying on the Portal server.

I tried to deploy the file on Tomcat Apache 6.0 and when I try to access the logonPage.jsp it throws error like - Unable to load tag handler class "com.sap.engine.applications.security.logon.tags.FormTag" for tag "sap:form".

Please suggest how I can test the page in Eclipse or NWDS before deploying on actual server.

Hey Vinay Kumar,

Deploying in tomcat will not work, because of the missing libraries.

The best is test it on a dev or sanbox NW JAVA.

In that case I need to deploy on Portal every time to test whenever I make any changes. Is there any way to create completely custom jsp Logon Page and deploy it on server?
