Web Contexts Included in uPortal

The current uPortal distribution includes a number of deployed webapps, each with its own web context.

If your selected portal configuration requires you to explicitly map all Tomcat web contexts (e.g. with some mod_jk configurations), you will need to map the following contexts:

Core Modules

Context

Use

/uPortal

The portal itself

/cas

Bundled CAS server and uPortal's default authentication strategy. This may be removed if your institution is not using CAS or is using a separate CAS server.

/ResourceServingWebapp

Static, versioned UE resources such as javascript, css, and image libraries. This application offers the portal and portlets a common target to ensure the user's browser can make efficient use of local caching.

Test Suites

Context

Use

/cas-proxy-test-portlet

CAS proxy test and resources for testing CAS proxy capabilities from other portlets.

/pluto-testsuite

JSR-168 tests

/FunctionalTestsPortlet

Additional portlet tests

Removing a bundled webapp

All bundled webapps (other than uPortal itself) are included in the portal's build via an overlay. To remove a bundled web context from the build and from the deployed portal, you will need to perform the following steps:

  1. Remove the line <module>dependency</module from uportal-portlets-overlay/pom.xml for the item you wish to remove. You may also optionally delete the directory for that module.
  2. Remove the dependency and webModule elements for this item from uportal-ear/pom.xml.
  3. If your build.properties file contains the line "cleanShared=false", then next execution of "ant clean deploy-ear" will remove the webapp from Tomcat
