- Note that when you develop a portal, we advise you to use the XML instead of the User Interface as XML will allow you to provide a preconfigured package to your customer. But as each time you start the server the first time, the XML files are stored in the JCR, it will be necessary to remove the database (the jcr leverages a database). During the development phase using tomcat it simply means to delete the directory: exo-tomcat/temp
