Using webdav-deploy-zip-file task

In the How to publish iWidget xml in the WebDav store entry i blogged about how to publish a widget xml file to WebDav store, there is one more alternative to achieve same thing

You can zip your widget xml and corresponding .js files into a .zip file, Example i did zip .xml and .js file for MyPreferences widget into c:/temp/MyPreferences.zip file

Then i used following configuration task to deploy the widget .xml and .js file onto WebDav


ConfigEngine.bat webdav-deploy-zip
-file -DZipFilePath=c:/temp/MyPreferences.zip -DTargetURI=dav:fs-type1/iwidgets/
MyPreference/


After deployment i used the AnyClient WebDav client to see the content of the WebDav and i could see that content of MyPreferences.zip file was expanded on WebDav folder like this



Now i can use following configuration task to register the MyPreferences widget


ConfigEngine.bat register-iwidget-
definition -DIWidgetDefinition=dav:fs-type1/iwidgets/MyPreference/MyPreferences.
xml -DPorteltUniqueName=webspherenotes.MyPreferences
