Question

I am new to Dynamic Component Templates.

I have created a Component Template and made it “Published as Dynamic Component” and allowed “Allow on Page using Dynamic Assembly”.

I don’t have Deployer configured in my system and all published items are getting stored at some local location.

I have published this Component Template and I am trying to find the published CT.
I did not find this CT in published items.

Is Deployer compulsory to work with Dynamic CT and how to create pages using dynamic CT.

Can any provide some solution to this?

EDIT

Addinf storageconfig file.

To be clear again I have published component Template which is Dynamic, though the CT is published I am unable to find in published Items in server. The published items are being stored at c:\temp

Thanks In Advance.

Please check your storage config file (cd_storage_conf.xml) for Dynamic CPs location. If you have not specified it will use the default location.

You may specify your own location

<ItemTypes defaultStorageId="Default Storage" cached="CACHE_BEHAVIOR">

    <Item typeMapping="ComponentPresentation" itemExtension=".Jsp" cached="CACHE_BEHAVIOR" storageId="DCPStorage" />
......
</ItemTypes>
