Adding content

After you create a JSP target, you are ready to begin developing content. You should probably start by setting up the folder structure for your target.

Adding new folders

When you add content to a JSP target, you use folders to set up a logical directory structure for the content. When you deploy a JSP target, the deployment engine replicates the folder structure on the server system. It also processes the content for the target Web server and application server, and rewrites link information to fit the directory structure.

To add a new folder to a JSP target:

On the Workspace tab of the System Tree, right-click a JSP target (or a folder under a JSP target), then select New Folder from the pop-up menu.
Right-click the new folder that displays under your JSP target and select Rename from the pop-up menu.
Type in the name you want to give to your folder.

Adding new JSP files

With a folder structure in place, you can begin adding files to those folders. The JSP page of the New dialog box has wizards for creating the various types of files you can edit in a JSP target.
