Getting SLP to Work With Your WebFOCUS Installation

How to:

Install SLP
Configure the SLP Service

This appendix provides the steps that you can follow to configure Simple Lightweight Page (SLP) manager, a context switcher for PMF, to work with your WebFOCUS installation.

Note that the PMF installer configures SLP for you automatically on a new install.

Procedure: How to Install SLP

To install SLP:

On your WebFOCUS Client system, navigate to the following location:
```
drive:/ibi/WebFOCUSnn/webapps/webfocus
```
where:

nn

Is the WebFOCUS version number.
Create a new folder named slp. The name must be all lower case letters.
Copy the slp.jsp file into the new folder.

Procedure: How to Configure the SLP Service

To configure the SLP service:

Navigate to the following location:

drive:/ibi/WebFOCUSnn/webapps/webfocus/WEB-INF

Make a backup copy of the web.xml file and name it web-beforezip.xml.
Open the web.xml file in a text editor.

Paste the following text at the end of the file, above the </web-app> tag:

<!-- SLP added by PMF install -->
<servlet>
	<servlet-name>slp</servlet-name>
	<jsp-file>/slp/slp.jsp</jsp-file>
</servlet>
<!-- SLP added by PMF install -->
  
<servlet-mapping>
   <servlet-name>slp</servlet-name>
   <url-pattern>/slp/*</url-pattern>
   <url-pattern>/p/*</url-pattern>
   <url-pattern>/pmf</url-pattern>
   <url-pattern>/PMF</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

The following image shows the file with the additional text added.

Save the file.
Restart your web app container service, such as Apache Tomcat.
