Selecting a server
JBuilder can target multiple servers. You can choose a single application server for all
stages of EJB and web application development, or you can choose different servers
for different aspects of development. For example, you can select one server to use to
develop enterprise beans and another to develop web applications.
To select one or more servers to use for your project,
1 Choose Project|Project Properties.
2 Select Server in the dialog box tree. The Server page is displayed:
3 Decide whether you want to use a single server for all aspects of development or
different servers to handle different areas of development.
To use a single server,
1 Select the Single Server For All Services In Project option and select the
server from the drop-down list.
2 If you want to make changes to the configuration settings for the server, click
the ellipsis () button and edit the settings you want on the General and
Custom pages. Click OK.
You can also use this dialog box to select a different server.
3 If you dont want a particular service started when the server starts up,
uncheck the check box next to the service in the Services list. This feature
currently applies only to the Borland Enterprise Server as it is the only one
which allows you to start and stop selected services.
If you uncheck the Deployment or Client JAR Creation services, the
corresponding menu items will be disabled on the JBuilder Enterprise menu. If
you uncheck the JSP/Servlet service, web server support is disabled. If you
uncheck the Naming/Directory service for Tomcat, naming service support is
disabled. If you uncheck the Deployment service, vendor-specific descriptors
wont be generated and all deploy options will be disabled.
