126 Keeping Commerce Applications Updated WebSphere Commerce 5.1 to 5.6 Migration Guide
8.1 Setting up aliases
The application that we migrated contained static web content that was
addressed outside the scope of the web application in order to minimize the load
on the application server.
The WebSphere Commerce V5.6 Toolkit does not contain any static web projects
when installed, so in order to support static web content, you must do the
following:
1. Create a new Dynamic Web Project:
a. File -> New -> Dynamic Web Project
b. The New Web Project wizard appears. Ensure that Configure advanced
options is checked, enter the name of the project in the Project name
entry field and click Next.
We used the name static_http.
c. The J2EE Setting Page appears. Enter the prefix the Context root entry
field that your static web content must use and click Next.
We needed support for all paths that are not used for WebSphere
Commerce servlets, so we entered / (forward slash).
d. The Features Page appears. Ensure that none of the features are
checked and click Next.
e. The Select a Page Template for the Web Site page appears. Ensure that
Use a default Page Template for the Web Site is unchecked and click
Finish.
f. The New Web Project wizard starts creating the web project. When
finished, a prompt asking if you want to switch to the Web Perspective.
Click No.
2. Edit the looseconfig.xmi file located in one of the following directories,
depending on the type of test environment that you use:
– Full test environme nt:
<wctoolkit_home>\conf\servers\fullconfig\loosec onfig.xmi
– Lightweight test environm ent:
<wctoolkit_home>\conf\servers\lightconfig\loose config.xmi
As shown in the excerpt in Example 8-1. The part in bold shows the new
content. If you entered a different name for the Web Project replace
static_http in the file for the one you just entered.
