How to preserve pages

["Dr. Michael Lipp" <Mi...@danet.de>]

Hi,

is there a "best practice" how to preserve the pages between
deployments? If I re-deploy Jetspeed because of e.g. some update,
everything falls back to the page directory in the WAR.

Regards,

    Michael

Hi,
I don't know if this is a best practice but it works in my case (I store 
pages & folder out of tomcat directory)
Under {tomcat_home}\webapps\jetspeed\WEB-INF\assembly you can find a 
file named page-manager.xml. You shuld edit pages location there, having 
them not modified during deployment task.

Hope this helps you.
Hi,
Maurizio

Recommend using the Maven-1 plugin (j2:genapp) and just overwrite the 
Spring configuration for the page manager, overriding the location of 
the pages to some place secure on your file system, outside of the web 
application. I usually just create a directory structure like:

myPortalProject
     applications
          myPortletApp
     ...
     src
        webapp
           WEB-INF
	      assembly
                   <<put custom Spring config here >>


Our Maven-2 build supports custom portals as well, and IMO, is a 
preferred solution for new projects

For larger installations, I recommend using the Database Page Manager
We support both import and export from/to the db page manager
