JSP Setup Buttons

The Network Setup page has the following fields and settings:

Port

Defines the port that your HTTP, Proxy, or HTTPS service listens on to field requests. A port number can be any number between 1 and 65535. The Java Web Server default ports are: * Web Service (HTTP) 8080 * Secure Web Service (HTTPS) 7070 Proxy Service 6060

Restart

Temporarily stops and then restarts the service so your changes can be saved and activated. It is only necessary to restart the service if you change the port.

Stop

If you choose, you can Stop a service rather than restart it. If you do this, the Restart button changes to read Start. To restart a stopped service, click Start.

Provide Service On

This field allows you to accept connections on more than one network address if your machine is set up for multihoming. Alternatively, you can set your port to listen to only a single card, requests that come in on the other cards are ignored.

All Network Addresses - This sets your default port to listen to requests that come in on both (or all) network interface cards installed in your machine.

Network Address - This field sets your default port to listen to requests coming in on only the card specified. Enter the host name assigned to the card, or the IP Address. If you have more than one interface card installed, requests coming in on that card are ignored if this field is selected.

The buttons present in the Network Setup are given below. To make changes to the Network Setup page and have those settings take effect, use the three buttons at the bottom of the screen. These are:

Save - Writes your changes to the Java Web Server and changes the settings.

Revert - Takes you back to the previous settings for all fields in the screen. Use this button to undo changes you have not yet saved.

Defaults - Displays the settings that were active when you entered the Java Web Server Network Setup page.

The Site Setup page allows you to define and change the basic Site settings for services running in the JavaTM Web ServerTM. The Site Setup page has four cards:

Contents- Sets up basic directories and files, such as the document root directory, CGI scripts location, and welcome (index.html) files.

Languages - Defines the default language (for example, American English) and any additional supported languages.

Character Sets - Defines the supported character sets.

Options - Enables additional features, such as security checks and servlet chaining.

The Site Setup screen is shown in the following diagram.

Contents Settings
The Contents card has the following fields and settings.

Document Root Directory

The name of the default directory on your machine where your HTML documents are placed. When you first install the Java Web Server, the default document directory is server root/public html.

You can change this directory to be any directory you choose, for example, a docs directory inside your own home directory. Suppose you are the user stud on the machine psoft, you could set your Document Root Directory to /home/stud/docs. Then, to access this directory, you would simply type the U R L: http://venus:8080

CGI Script Directory

This defines the directory where CGI scripts are found on your system.

Any directory entered here is understood to be relative to server root. For example, the default directory is cgi bin, and the full path is server root/cgi bin. (The CgiServlet allows you to run your CGI scripts unchanged. Its bindir argument, which defines where to locate your CGI scripts, is also set by default to the cgi bin directory.)

Welcome File

The names of the default HTML files that the Java Web Server will load when a user enters the URL for your machine.

You may specify one or more default files. When someone connects to a directory on your machine without providing a filename, the Java Web Server will search the directory looking for a matching filename to the default files you have listed. It searches for files in the order you have indicated.

File Name

The names of other files you can specify as Welcome Files.

Languages Settings

The Languages card has the following fields.

Default Language
Defines the default language for the site's documents.

Supported Languages
Displays a list of the languages supported by the Java Web Server.

Language Name

Allows you to add additional languages to the list of supported languages.

Character Set Settings

The Character Sets card has the following fields. Default Character Set

Defines the default character set for the Java Web Server.

Supported Character Sets

Displays a list of the character sets supported by the Java Web Server

Character Set

Allows you to add additional character sets to the list of Supported Character Sets.

Options Settings

The Options card has the following fields. The options settings can be done using the following screen:

Security Checks

This setting has to do with basic security checking. It has two choices:

Enabled Instructs the server to check access controls and permissions before allowing connections to your server document root and index.html file.

Disabled Tells your server to ignore access controls and permissions when making connections to your server document root and index.html file.

Directory Access

This setting has to do with what gets displayed in your default document root directory. It has two choices:

List Files If you do not have a file in your document root directory specifically named index.html that can be displayed when an HTTP connection is made to your Java Web Server, a list of the files in the directory will be displayed instead.

Do Not List Files If you do not have an index.html file to be displayed when an HTTP connection is made, the directory files will not be displayed, and the user attempting to make the connection will not be granted access to your Java Web Server.

Servlet Chains

This setting has to do with allowing servIets to be chained (that is, granting one servlet the permission to call and execute another Servlet This setting has two choices ,

Enabled This allows servIets to chain to other servIets.

Disabled This disables Servlet chaining so that only the first Servlet in a chain can be executed.

Remove all archived files

This setting has to do with removing the archive directory which contains files deleted or replaced by the HTTP1.1 DELETE and PUT operations, respectively, The archive directory is created the first time such an operation is performed. When you click the delete button, a confirmation dialogue will appear. You then have two choices:

Yes To continue with the deletion.
No To cancel the deletion request.

The archives directory is located at server_root/archives. If the server is used a lot for DELETE and PUT operations, the number of files stored in the archives directory can take up a lot of disk space. That is why the ability to purge the directory is provided.

The only caution in removing the archives directory is to note that this operation deletes them permanently. If you back up your server's file system on a regular basis, deleting the archive directory should not be a concern because your backups will provide a way for you to retrieve the deleted archives files should the need arise.

To make changes to the Site Setup page and have those settings take affect, use the three buttons at the bottom of the screen. These are: Save Writes your changes to the Java Web Server and changes the settings.

Revert Takes you back to the previous settings for all fields in the screen. Use this button to undo changes you have not yet saved.

Defaults Displays the settings that were active when you entered the Java I Web Server Site Setup page.

The Service Tuning page allows you to set or adjust properties that affect service performance. The following screen can be used for service tuning.
