The Gentics Portal.Node SDK usually hides the Portal.Node web application from the user in the form of a "Gentics Portal.Node Runtime". It is still possible to customize the Portal.Node.war before deployment by creating a folder named customwebapp in the server's configuration folder (Usually within the 'Servers' project). All files in that folder will overwrite there equivalents in the Portal.Node.war . For example to customize the web.xml to introduce new security constraints you need to create a file called customwebapp/WEB-INF/web.xml.

You can find the original Portal.Node.war in the installation directory of Gentics Portal.Node SDK eclipse/pn_updates/builds/<buildnumber>/sdk/Portal.Node.war.

Please see the Gentics Portal.Node Reference for details on how to customize the Portal.Node web application in a server environment. (Indexterm 'Customizing Portal.Node.war').
