Designer generates an OpenCAF Shell page project that includes the following files in the WebContent folder:
*fileName.xhtml - A JSF Facelets template that is responsible for rendering the shell.
*WEB-INF/shells/fileName_xhtml.xml - An xmlImport file that contains instructions for registering the OpenCAF Shell page template with My webMethods Server during deployment of the OpenCAF project. The file contains instructions for creating or updating My webMethods Server resources, and for creating a shell rule.
*WEB-INF/xmlImport.xml - An xmlImport file that loads the WEB-INF/shells/fileName_xhtml.xml file during deployment of the OpenCAF project.
