Creating a Task Application Project

A task must be created in an existing task application project, which is a type of portlet application project. You can create your project with either JSF 1.x or JSF 2.x support. For more information, see About JavaServer Faces and webMethods CAF and OpenUI Development Help.

1. Start the new portlet application project wizard as described in Accessing the Portlet Application Project Wizard.

2. In the New Portlet Application Project wizard, in Project Name, type a name for the portlet application project.

3. Accept the default location for the project, or specify a custom location.

4. In Target Runtime list, select the required runtime.

The options are My webMethods Server and Integration Server. The default is My webMethods Server.

5. In Dynamic web module version, accept the default value.

6. In Configuration, use the default value for the selected runtime. The default values are CAF Portlet Application for My webMethods Server and Default Configuration for Integration Server.

7. (Optional) In Working sets, click Add Project to working set to use a subset of resources, and then click Select to select the working set resource for the project.

8. In Initial Project Contents, select one of the following in the Project Templates list:

OpenUI Shell - creates a task application project with JSF 2.x support. The project is created without any task portlets, but it does contain a page.xhtml page. You can publish task applications, created with the OpenUI shell only to My webMethods Server runtimes.

Empty Project (default). The task application project is created with a minimum of folders and resources, with JSF 2.x support. You will create your project structure and resources later by adding tasks with the New Task and New Portlet View wizards.

9. Click Next and specify any custom settings you want to apply to the project on the following screens, or click Finish to create a project with the default configuration.
