Modifying the Login Page and Links List Page
These steps describe how to modify the look of the login page and the links list page by editing the LauncherHTML.jsp file.
- Using a file system browser, navigate to ReflectionServer\jakarta-tomcat\webapps\rweb\gm folder for your installation of Reflection for the Web. For a default Windows installation, the path is
C:\Program Files\ReflectionServer\jakarta-tomcat\webapps\rweb\gm- In this folder, locate the file named LauncherHTML.jsp. Make a backup copy of this file and name it LauncherHTML.bak.
- Open LauncherHTML.jsp in an ASCII text editor (for example, use Notepad in Windows), and edit the appropriate values.
Note: Hexadecimal values for font and background colors can be obtained from various web sites. To locate this information, enter "hexadecimal color values" into the search engine of your choice. To use these values, change the hexadecimal value to the color of your choice. For example, the value #CCCCFF represents the color lavender.
- To change the background of the JSP file, locate and modify the following line:
background-color: #ffffff;Change the hexadecimal value to the color of your choice.
- To change the background of the Links List applet, add the backgroundColor parameter (highlighted below) under the "cabbase" parameter:
<param name="cabbase" value"Launcher.cab"> <param name="backgroundColor" value="#FFFFCC"> |
Change the hexadecimal value to the color of your choice.
- To change the font color of the Links List applet, add the foregroundColor parameter (highlighted below) under the "cabbase" parameter:
<param name="cabbase" value"Launcher.cab"> <param name="foregroundColor" value="#228B22"> |
Change the hexadecimal value to the color of your choice.
- To change the height and width of the Links List applet, change the height and width arguments in the <applet MAYSCRIPT name =…> parameter. You can replace the existing height and width variables with static pixel values (for example, width="600" height="400").
Note: The HTML elements in the LauncherHTML.jsp file may be edited to affect the page that surrounds the Links List applet.
- To change the image that displays on the login and the links list pages, replace the reference to RWeb_M.gif with the path and name of the new image. The default image is located in the \ReflectionServer\jakarta-tomcat\webapps\rweb folder.
- Save and close the LauncherHTML.jsp file.
- To view your changes, open the links list page in a browser using a URL in the following format:
https://<your server>:<your port>/<application context name>/rwebNote: The default application context name is rweb.
When the login page opens, you should see the modifications made in the LauncherHTML.jsp page. If not, clear your browser's cached files, exit all browser sessions, and try again.
