Installing a remote spell checker

If you plan to use a spell checker, you must install it remotely.

You must also have the most recent version of IBM® WebSphere® Application Server installed on the server and create an AppServer profile.

  1. Copy the SpellChecker.ear file from the following directory to any directory on the remote server:

    • AIX® and Linux™: PortalServer_root/lwo/prereq.odc/odc/spellchecker/remoteSpellchecker
    • Windows™: PortalServer_root\lwo\prereq.odc\odc\spellchecker\remoteSpellchecker
  2. Use the WebSphere Integrated Solutions Console to deploy SpellChecker.ear onto the remote server. Specify /wps/spellcheck as the context root.

    You can also use a context root other than the default. To use a different context root, before you deploy SpellChecker.ear, change the following line in the application.xml file:

    <context-root>/anydirectory/spellcheck</context-root>
    

    For example, to change the context root for spell checker to /test/, change the line in application.xml to <context-root>/test/spellcheck</context-root>. Also, update the context root value in the SpellCheckconfig.properties file of the Portal server.

  3. Copy the following files and folder to the remote server:

    • The PortalServer_root/lwo/prereq.odc/odc/spellchecker/lib/spcommon.jar file to AppServer_root/lib/ext/
    • The PortalServer_root/lwo/prereq.odc/odc/spellchecker/lib/com directory to AppServer_root/lib/ext/
  4. Restart the remote server.
