# Generating a Custom BI Beans JSP Application

The Complete BI JSP Application wizard lets you create a custom BI Beans JSP application that provides you with an introduction to using BI Beans JSP tags. You select the options that you want to include and the wizard creates a working application that you can examine and customize further.

Prepare for using the wizard by creating a BI Designer and a presentation that is to be displayed in the application. This preparation lets you get maximum benefit from the wizard.

## Preparation for creating the complete BI JSP application

To prepare for the creation of the complete BI JSP application, use the following procedure:

1. In the Applications-Navigator, right-click Applications and select New Application Workspace from the menu. The New Application Workspace dialog box is displayed.

2. Complete the dialog and ensure that you select BI Beans Web Application in the Application Template box.

3. In the BIDesignerModel project, create a BIDesigner object to specify the database and the BI Beans Catalog that your application should use. The BI Designer must exist before you can create a BI Beans presentation.

4. In the BIDesigner, create a BI Beans presentation (graph or crosstab) that your application can analyze, if you do not already have a presentation available. (Note: You could also copy a presentation from a remote BI Beans Catalog to the Local Catalog of the BIDesignerModel project.)

## Creating the custom application

To create the custom BI Beans JSP application, use the following procedure:

1. In the Applications-Navigator, right-click the BIClient project and select New from the menu. The New Gallery dialog box appears.

2. In the Categories column, under Business Intelligence, Web Tier, select Java Server Pages (JSP).

3. In the Items column, select Complete BI JSP Application.

4. Choose OK to dismiss the dialog box. The Complete BI JSP Application wizard is displayed.

5. Select the options that you want to include in the JSP application. To produce the most complete application, select all the available options.

6. Choose Finish.

You can begin your examination of the application by reviewing the JSPReadMe file, which contains a summary description of the files that the wizard produced. Then, you can customize the application, as needed.
