Installing the Third-Party Spell Checker

Collaboration and Approvals (BPS) supports the spell checker tool from SpellChecker.net. This is a third-party tool and your company needs to license it directly from SpellChecker.net. Once installed and configured, users can access the tool from any text box.

The 3DEXPERIENCE platform supports WebSpellChecker version 3.7.2. The spell checker is compatible with these browsers:

  • Internet Explorer 6, 7, 8, 9
  • Firefox 3.6+
  • Safari 4+

  1. Go to www.webspellchecker.net.
  2. Follow the instructions to license, download, and install the WebSpellChecker.

    You need to download the sproxy_java.rar file, located at http://wiki.webspellchecker.net/doku.php?id=installationandconfiguration:sproxy.

    The installation instructions include information about embedding WSC/SCAYT (WebSpellChecker/Spell Check As You Type) in the app. You do not need to perform this task; the Collaboration and Approvals applications take care of this step.

  3. Unzip sproxy_java.rar into the <webapp>/WEB-INF/lib directory.
  4. Copy the sproxy.ini file from the installed directory of the spell checker ([Installed Directory\WebComponents\Proxy]) to the WEB-INF directory.
  5. Add these lines to the web.xml file: 

    <servlet>
     <servlet-name>SpellChecker</servlet-name>
     <servlet-class>net.spellchecker.sproxy.SProxy</servlet-class>
     <init-parm>
          <param-name>sproxyIniPath</param-name>
          <param-value>./sproxy.ini</param-value>
     </init-param>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
     <servlet-name>SpellChecker</servlet-name>
     <url-pattern>/SpellChecker</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

  6. Create or open the text file to contain customized properties for emxSystem.properties. For more information, see Editing Properties Using MQL.
  7. Add or edit this line in the file used to import properties into a page object: 

    emxFramework.spellchecker.URL

  8. Set the value of this property as shown: 

    emxFramework.spellchecker.URL=../SpellChecker?cmd=script&doc=wsc

  9. When finished updating the text file with all properties you want to modify, including the ones shown here, use the text file to modify the emxSystem.properties page object. For more information, see Editing Properties Using MQL.
