For adding artifacts to the repository the Repository Viewer portlet is available by selecting Common Libraries on the Console Navigation menu on the left hand side. The Repository Viewer portlet illustrated in the following figure displays the artifacts installed in the server's repository. The layout of the repository is the same as that used by Apache Maven making it possible to easily copy files The over.

To use an artifact in an application, add a dependency element into it's deployment plan. For example, to use Castor XML add the following XML to the plan:

xmlsolid <dependency> <uri>castor/jars/castor-0.9.5.3.jar</uri> </dependency>
