Creating a Gadget Application Project
You can create a gadget application project in the UI Development perspective of Designer. A gadget application project is similar to a web application project. After creating a gadget application project, you can create and configure one or more gadgets within the project.
When you create a gadget application project, the default application server is My webMethods Server.
To create a project
1. In the UI Development perspective, select File > New > Other > SoftwareAG> UI Development > Gadget Application Project.
The New Gadget Application Project wizard appears.
2. In the Project Name field, type a name for the project.
Names cannot contain spaces or any of the following characters:
asterisk (*)
Pipe (|)
Back slash (\)
Forward slash (/)
Colon (:)
Double quotes (")
Less than (<)
Greater than (>)
Period (.)
Question mark (?)
As a best practice, specify short names even though names can use up to 255 characters.
3. In the Target Runtime list, select a server type.
My webMethods Server is the default server.

5. In the Configuration list, select the Gadget Web Application option.
6. (Optional) In the Working sets area, select the Add Project to working sets check box, and then click Select to choose a working set for the project.

10. Click Finish.
The WebContent\WEB-INF\web.xml file for the project is created. You can add or modify security roles in the web.xml file. For information about adding or modifying security roles, see webMethods CAF and OpenUI Development Help.
