Web Publications

A web publication is a collection of XML files, server pages (ASP or JSP), CSS files, XSL transformation sheets, JavaScript files, and images.

The publication process results in the following directory tree structure:

<Publication directory>
+ _internal	uspublication.xml
+ logs
+ WebSite	.asp/.jsp, global.asa
+ css	*.css
+ images	*.gif
+ js	*.js
+ xml	*.xml
+ menus	DefaultMenu.xml, Menu.xml
+ xsl	*.xsl

·	One XML file for each published page.

NOTE:

If a submodule of an application is published, <MODULE> subnodes will appear in the publication tree, (as shown in the illustration above) where <MODULE> is replaced by the name of the module that is being published.

If the main module is published, <MODULE> subnodes will not be created.

The meaning and use of these publication deliverables are explained in the following topics.
