Uploading par files in nwds and deploying back

Question

Hi all,
I wanted to work with the masthead iview in nwds, so found it on the server as the par file and imported it into NWDS. Changed the headeriview jsp and deployed it back to the portal. But it is not working. Saw in another sdn thread that when you create the project in nwds, it does not bring up all the components from the par file as required and some class files are missing. I think this is the problem in my case. The solution to it was not given in that thread.
Would anybody help please.
thanks.

Hi
the following are the steps to modify a masthead.
1.Find the PAR file and copied to a temporary directory and renamed to the customer namespace taking off .bak extension.
2.Import the PAR file now using File->import option.
3.make necessary modifications.
4.once the JSP is edited, the PAR file needs to be created ans uploaded to the portal.If JDK is installed just login into portal and deploy the pAR file otherwise use PortalAnywhere to deploy it.
5.Now goto Content Administration->Portal Content->right click the folder you wish to create the mastheadiView.Select New from Portal Archive-?iView from the context menu.Select new masthead.
6. select poratal component Default and choose next.
7.enter the properties for masthead and next.
8.edit the Iview and saved it.
9.add the iView to Framework Page in portal catalog and edit page layout.
10.select iView from catalog and add it as Delta link and position it accordin to your need.
Hope this helps you to modify the masthead.
