                Deploy static and dynamic resources
  
                You are ready to deploy your static and dynamic
  theme resources to the server.
  
                About this task
                Important: Theme cache will be cleared
  automatically when uploading new resources using WebDAV on
  CF06+. However, pre-CF06, you should invalidate the cache using
  the Theme Optimization Analyzer portlet after uploading new
  static theme files. This option can be found under Portal
  Administration -> Portal Analysis -> Theme Analyzer -> Utilities
  -> Control Center -> Invalidate Cache.
  
                Procedure
                1. Connect your WebDAV client, such as WebDrive or
  AnyClient, to
  http://host:port/wps/mycontenthandler/dav/themelist/.
                2. Copy the entire customTheme folder from Copy
  the static resources for your theme into the themelist folder.
                3. Double-check the contents of the customTheme
  folder in the themelist to ensure that everything is copied
  correctly. Compare each subfolder in customTheme to the
  corresponding subfolder in ibm.portal.85Theme to ensure that it
  looks like the correct number of files were copied. Recopy any
  files or subfolders that are missing. In particular, be sure to:
                a. Double-check the contents of the
  metadata.properties file in the themelist.
                Note: Ensure that the URI is encoded. If there are
  spaces or other characters in the URI that are not allowed, the
  theme does not work.
                b. Double-check the contents of the profiles
  folder and ensure all the profile files are there and have your
  updated module.
                c. Double-check the theme*.html files to ensure
  they have your dyn-cs:id changes.
                4. Connect your WebDAV client to
  http://host:port/wps/mycontenthandler/dav/skinlist/.
                5. Copy the entire customSkin folder from Copy the
  static resources for your skin into the skinlist.
                6. Double-check the contents of the customSkin
  folder in the skinlist to ensure that everything copied
  correctly. Compare each subfolder in customSkin to the
  corresponding folder in ibm.portal.85Hidden to ensure that it
  looks like the correct number of files were copied. Recopy any
  files or subfolders that are missing.
                7. Find your CustomThemeEAR project from Copying
  the dynamic resources for your theme, right-click it and select
  Export > EAR file from the menu.
                8. Click Browse, select a folder to export your
  EAR file to.
                9. Click Save and click Finish.
                10. Log on to the WebSphere&#65449; Integrated Solutions
  Console and go to Applications > Application Types > WebSphere
  enterprise applications.
                11. Click the Install toolbar button.
                12. Click Choose File..., find, and select the EAR
  file that you exported and click Next.
                13. Select Fast Path, expand Choose to generate
  default bindings and mappings, select Generate Default Bindings,
  and click Next.
                14. Change any installation option values that you
  want, or use the default values, and click Next.
                15. For Map Modules to Servers, select the Custom
  Theme module in the table. Then, select the
  ...,server=WebSphere_Portal entry in the list, click Apply, and
