deploying the web layer

[karthik Narayanan <rk...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I was successfully able to build the NIFI project from source . I was
working an issue that i see on the NIFI web ui. When i right click on a
process that is on the edge of my screen, the popup dialog, goes outside
the screen, which makes the menus unselectable. I have fixed the js code so
it looks at the boudaries and realigns the pop up so it completely shows
inside the browser window.

The problem i am having is in deploying this to my nifi binary. I do not
want to build the whole project, just because i change a js page. I tried
copying the war to several locations but my changes dont take affect. Can
someone guide me on how i can deploy just the WEB-UI so that the jetty
server deploys my latest code.

Karthik,

The WARs are unpacked into the working directory which defaults to
<NIFI_HOME>/work/jetty. You should be able to replace the JS file that's
there. Alternatively, you could just build the nifi-web-ui and the
nifi-framework-nar and then copy the resulting framework NAR file into
<NIFI_HOME>/lib.
