Overview
Compiling and deploying uPortal is managed using the Ant build tool. Ant uses a file called build.xml for managing what is compiled and copies all necessary files into the uPortal context. The uPortal context can then be deployed as a complete web application running in a servlet container such as Tomcat or IBM Websphere. The build.xml file uses several properties defined in a file called build.properties. Both of these files can be found in the uPortal_rel-2-5-1 directory.

As of the 2.4.* release all of the necessary external jar files are included in the lib directory as well |
If using the uPortal-only release you will have to obtain all of the necessary external dependency libraries before attempting to compile uPortal.

If using Tomcat 5.5.* use the following:

# the name of the prototype context file for Tomcat webapp.contextFile=uPortaluPortal55.xml |
Note that if you use this context file to declare one or more DataSources you would like
the Tomcat 5.5 servlet container to instantiate and make available to uPortal via JNDI,
you also need to make the .jar files implementing those datasources available to
Tomcat 5.5 by installing them into the /common/lib directory of your Tomcat 5.5 instance.
Without the required .jar(s), Tomcat will be unable to instantiate the DataSource.
