Configuration of zk.xml
The zk.xml file is an optional file, and stays in the WEB-INF/ folder on the same
level as web.xml. As the above overview has shown, there are many settings, which
already have default values. The purpose of the zk.xml file is to extend, or overwrite
existing settings for ZK application. A list of these settings is given in the Appendix A.
Deployment
The deployment via Ant or any other IDE integrated tools is rather simple. Just copy
the ZK distribution under WEB-INF/lib and that's it. If you wish to optimize the
distribution you may omit the libraries you didn't use like dojoz or timeline.
Deployment of ZK Applications with Maven
If you like to work with Maven (http://maven.apache.org) it takes a little bit
more effort. This is because of the rapid rate of releases in ZK; sometimes the Maven
repositories have a bit of a delay in publishing. The most famous Maven repositories
include the ZK framework, i.e. http://repo1.maven.org/maven2. The structure of
the ZK framework in a Maven repository looks like:
As the illustration shows the ZK framework within the Maven repository has three
different groupIDs:
•
•
•
org.zkoss.common
org.zkoss.zk
org.zkoss.zkforge
