Webs plugins

Webs plugins are regular Java EE web modules designed to work with portals, such as ESB (Enterprise Service Bus), SSO (Single Sign-On), workflow engine, search engine, and so on. A web plugin provides the ability to integrate third-party applications, supporting embedding hook definition and service-builder services, which is different from plain web applications.

Web plugin project

Similar to the project name of a portlet or hook, a web plugin project should have the name ${web.name}-web, under the folder $PLUGIN_SDK_HOME/webs. For example, the name ${web.name}-web could be cas-web or solr-web . Since there isn't any template for web projects, you have to create a web project manually.

The web project is made up of build.xml, an application WAR file (if using web application WAR directly), and a folder called docroot. For example, the web plugin cas-web has the following definitions in the file build.xml:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE project>
<project name...
