Setting up servers within JBuilder
This is a feature of
JBuilder Developer
and Enterprise
To configure the settings to target one or more application servers,
1 Choose Enterprise|Configure Servers. The Configure Servers dialog box is
displayed:
The left side of the dialog box lists the servers that can be configured in JBuilder and
for which JBuilder finds a registered OpenTool.
2 Select the server you want to configure by clicking it in the pane on the left.
The right side of the dialog box lists the default settings for the selected server. Each
application server except Generic App Server 1.0 and all versions of Tomcat has
both a General and a Custom page for editing settings. The General page has fields
that all the application servers have in common, while the Custom page has fields
that are specific to the selected application server. In some cases, modifying a
Custom setting will update a setting on the General page and vice versa.
The Generic AppServer 1.0 server option is a generic option. It represents a basic
application server that supports EJB 1.1 and/or EJB 2.0 development. Select it if the
application server you use is not currently supported by JBuilder. You will probably
want to edit the resulting deployment descriptor with tools supplied with that
application server to get the exact settings you want. You could also choose this
option if the you arent targeting a specific application server.
3 Check the Enable Server check box at the top of the dialog box.
Checking this option enables the fields for the selected application server. You wont
be able to edit any fields until it is checked. The Enable Server check box also
determines whether this server will appear in the list of servers when you select a
server for your project using the Server page of the Project|Project Properties dialog
box.
JBuilder provides default settings for the selected server. If JBuilders default
settings are not appropriate, edit any of the settings as needed. Some servers
require you to enter settings in addition to the defaults. Clicking the OK button in this
