A dashboard .war file contains the webapp, servlets, and supporting resources necessary to deploy your dashboard and for it to connect to your Apama dashboard data or display server. For the most part you do not need to be aware of the contents of the .war file. However, there are several points to consider if you encounter problems.

The generated .war file will have form authentication enabled. You must supply the login page for this and configure your application server accordingly. A servlet in the dashboard .war file needs the ability to determine the identity of the user displaying a dashboard. This is to enable user based filtering. For this the servlet calls request.getRemoteUser(). Any problems calling this will prevent access to the dashboard.
