EGL creates the name of each JSP file in the directory identified
by
tempDirectory in the following way:
recordAlias.jsp
- recordAlias
- The name of the VGUI record or (if an alias is specified) the
alias for that record.
The tempDirectory build descriptor option
is used only when a JSP file of the same name is in the WebContent\WEB-INF
directory of the project to which output is generated.
If you do not specify a value for
tempDirectory and
if a JSP file with the name
recordAlias.jsp is already in the
directory WebContent\WEB-INF, the following statements apply:
- The new JSP file is stored with the following name, in the directory
WebContent\WEB-INF:
newrecordAlias.jsp
- Subsequent generations of the same UI record override the file
newrecordAlias.jsp
A benefit of receiving the most recently generated JSP file is
that you can copy and paste snippets of that file into the JSP file
that you customized earlier. If you did not specify a value for tempDirectory,
however, you should remove the file newrecordAlias.jsp from
the Web project before deploying that project.
You use the
genProject build descriptor
option to direct output to a Web project. If you use the
genDirectory build
descriptor option instead, the effects are as follows:
- Output goes into a directory instead
- The tempDirectory build descriptor option
has no effect
- The prefix new is not in the name of the generated JSP
file
- A generated JSP file overwrites any same-named file in the directory
