Masthead Customization in 7.3

Former Member
0 Kudos

Hi Experts,

I want to modify the standard classic masthead in 7.3.

I imported the war file com.sap.portal.navigation.masthead.war into NWDS 7.3, with a different name.

It shows errors in jsp pages, for which I added external jars to solve the dependency.

Without making any changes, I simply created an EAR file out of the same and deployed it

on the portal.

However it was not visible under Portal Applications folder in PCD.

Is there any other change that has to be done in order to deploy the standard file ?

Or any other way that I should import it.

This is the issue with all othe standard war file modification.

Any help would be appreciated !!!

Regards,

Juhi

kindly check whether portalapp.xml file is there in your project or not. If there is no portalapp.xml file exists in your project, then masthead will not be visible under the portal applications in portal. Reimport the war file once again and check if in case there is no portalapp.xml file.

Hi Nivas,

I have already used the method given in first link at the end too:

1. You need to create a Portal Application project inside of NWDS 7.3 - call it whatever you want, a different name than the existing ones from sap

2. Extract the war file (com.sap.portal.navigation.afp.masthead.war) with winzip or 7-zip and copy the content from web-inf to the portal-inf folder of your project. Don't copy the web.xml and the web-j2ee-engine.xml. They are not needed inside of the project.

3. Now you can make your custom changes to the Masthead.jsp file

4. Create the ear file and deploy it via NWDS 7.3

5. Copy your new masthead iView in the PCD from the portal applications to a pcd folder of your choice

6. Open the AFP framework page and copy your new iView as delta link into the masthead column

7. Disable or delete the old masthead iView out of the AFP framework page

8. Open a new session to check whether your changes apply correctly

But I get a par file when I export the project into an ear file, and also some error logs.

Did you solve this one ??

Hi,

You must be using J2EE perspective to import this standard ajax masthead war file .

Hi Nivas,

I am trying customization for Classic Masthead , not AFP masthead.

And I use Enterprise Portal perspective for importing the War file.

Hi,

I think for AFP masthead customization we have used J2EE perspective. You can try this Classic Masthead with J2EE perspective itself, I am not sure.
