Creating an overlay of the portlet

You can't deploy the portlet without having an instance of the Scheduling Assistant running, so be sure to follow the 'Creating the war overlay project' steps first.

1. Download the sample portlet overlay project at https://mywebspace.wisc.edu/npblair/jasig/my-sched-assist-portlet.zip and unzip on your filesystem.
2. Directly under your my-sched-assist-portlet directory, open the file with the path:

   No Format
   src/main/resources/scheduling-assistant.properties

3. Edit the properties to match your Scheduling Assistant instance. Note that the portlet doesn't interact with your Oracle Communications Suite Calendar Server instance, database, or LDAP; it communicates completely through the Scheduling Assistant web services endpoint.
4. Execute the following command from the root of your my-sched-assist-portlet directory:

   No Format
   mvn package

5. This will download the version of the Scheduling Assistant portlet specified in the pom.xml and add your configuration. The result will be a war file named 'my-scheduling-assistant.war' in the target sub-directory.

This war file can be published to a JSR-168 Portlet Container (like uPortal).The Scheduling Assistant portlet requires no custom configuration for use with an Oracle Calendar environment. Follow the instructions in the Bedework documentation:
