Hosting two HTML Workspace instances on one server

The default installation and settings of Adobe LiveCycle allow for only one HTML Workspace to be available on the server. However, you may need to host two different instances of HTML Workspace on a single LiveCycle server. The two instances are accessbile by different URLs.

LiveCycle administrators customize the Workspace to create two different URLs and make two workspaces available on the same server. In this customization article, we assume the two workspaces are accessible at http://[server]:[port]/lc/ws and http://[server]:[port]:/lc/ws2.

Follow these steps to configure HTML Workspace.

  1. Install the dev package of HTML Workspace on your server. See dev package, for instructions to create it.

  2. Login to CRXDE Lite as an administrator, by accessing http://[server]:[port]/lc/crx/de/index.jsp.

  3. Copy node ws at /content and paste at /content. Rename node to ws2. Click Save all. In properties of this node, change value of sling:resourceType to ws2. Click Save all.

  4. Copy folder ws from /libs and paste at /apps. Rename the folder to ws2. Click Save all.

  5. In GET.jsp at /apps/ws2, make the following code changes. Replace the following

    <html lang="en">
    <head>
        <meta charset="utf-8">
        <title>Workspace Next</title>
        <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL='/lc/libs/ws/index.html'" /><html lang="en">
    <head>
        <meta charset="utf-8">
        <title>Workspace Next</title>
        <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL='/lc/libs/ws/index.html'" />

    with the following code

    <html lang="en">
    <head>
        <meta charset="utf-8">
        <title>Workspace Next</title>
        <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL='/lc/apps/ws2/index.html'" />
  6. In registry.js at /apps/ws2/js, change path of templates to refer to templates at /apps/ws2/js/runtime/templates. Replace the following code

    "tasklist" : {
    "name": "tasklist",
    "path": "tasklistview",
    "model": "tasklist",
    "template": "text!/lc/libs/ws/js/runtime/templates/tasklist.html",
    "utility": "utility",
    "view": "taskview",
    "errorModel": null
    }

    with the following code

    "tasklist" : {
    "name": "tasklist",
    "path": "tasklistview",
    "model": "tasklist",
    "template": "text!/lc/apps/ws2/js/runtime/templates/tasklist.html",
    "utility": "utility",
    "view": "taskview",
    "errorModel": null
    }
  7. In userinfo.js at /apps/ws2/js/runtime/models and /apps/ws2/js/runtime/views, change string /lc/content/ws to lc/content/ws2.

  8. In /apps/ws2/js/runtime/services/service.js, change the path in getLocalizationData function to point to /lc/apps/ws2/Locale.html.

  9. To refer to pdf.html of the new Workspace, change the path of pdf.html in /apps/ws2/js/runtime/views/forms/pdftaskform.js.

  10. To refer to pdf.html of the new Workspace, change paths of pdf.html and WsNextAdapter.swf in startprocess.html, taskdetails.html, and processinstancehistory.html at /apps/ws2/js/runtime/templates.

  11. Copy /etc/map/ws folder and paste at /etc/map. Rename the new folder to ws2. Click Save all.

  12. In properties of ws2, change value of sling:redirect to content/ws2.

  13. Change value of sling:match to ^[^/\||]/[^/\||]/ws2$.
