Overview

NSJSP is configured to meet specific user requirements by modifying the configuration

files installed with NSJSP 7.0. This section provides an overview of the files used to

configure NSJSP 7.0.

The files used to configure NSJSP are broadly classified into the following categories:



Configuration files that describe the NSJSP server classes and how they are used

by the iTP Secure WebServer. Table 3-2 provides a brief description of these files.



Configuration files for the NSJSP servlet container and configuration files for web

applications hosted on NSJSP. Table 3-3

provides a brief description of these files.

Session A session, also called an HTTP session, provides the means to

associate an HTTP Client and an HTTP Server. This association

or session, persists over multiple connections and/or requests

during a given time period. Sessions are used to maintain the

state and identity a user across multiple requests and

connections. An example of session state would be the contents

of a shopping cart, which is stored in a session object.

<iTP Secure

WebServer Home>

Refers to the directory where iTP Secure WebServer has been

installed.

<NSJSP_HOME> Refers to the directory where NSJSP has been installed.
