Override the GBC

If you wish to use a customized Genero Browser Client (GBC) instead of the one installed with the FGLGWS package, then you can override it when deploying a war file. The override option is explained.

The Genero Browser Client (GBC) packaged with the FGLGWS product is found in the FGLDIR/web_utilities/gbc path. When building the war file, this GBC client is embedded in the JGAS implementation.

While it is not recommended to modify the contents of the gbc directory provided in the installation, instead you can override it with one provided by you when building a war file.

This means that you can have your customized GBC as part of your project and avoid modifying the original installation, or risk losing your modifications after a product upgrade.

The following command to build a war shows an example using the --gbc option to specify the override:

fglgar war --input-gar myApp.gar --output myApp.war  --gbc c:\dev\gbc_customized
