Marking portal pages as hidden

In WebSphere Portal, when creating a new page under content root, it will be shown on the quick links navigation.
If you do not want a page that you create to appear in the main menu, you can hide the page. You can use own customize links or navigation to access the page via direct URL mapping.

To hide the page, it can be done through WebSphere Portal XML configuration interface. You do this by setting the hidden flag for the page parameter for the content-node tag in XML. You can use the following XML snippet:

<request xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="PortalConfig_1.4.xsd" type="update" create-oids="true">
<portal action="locate">
<content-node action="update" uniquename="com.mypage" active ="true">
<parameter name="com.ibm.portal.Hidden" type="string" update="set"><![CDATA[true]]></parameter>
</content-node>
</portal>
</request>

How to enable remote debugging for a WebSphere Web application using RAD

Step 1:

To be able to debug an Enterprise Application you must enable the Debugging service for WebSphere Application server.

Ensure you set up an appropriate port that the development client is able to access.

Things to remember here :

1)       You must start server is debug mode either by selecting ‘Enable service at server startup’ or by using RAD

2)       Take a note of JVM Debug port

Step 2:

Using RAD (IBM Rapid Application Developer)

Switch to Debug Perspective

Open Debug configurations and Set-up remote debug details using appropriate port as set in the Application server's Debugging service.

Note: If you get this dialog, it is because the server is not started or you have a firewall issue or incorrect connection details.

Finally Set a break point on deployed web project.
