Deploying an Application
To
deploy an application package:
-
Package the application files
-
Create the meta-info files
-
Register and choose servers
-
|
The status of the deployment process appears in a separate window.
When deploying an application using the deployment tool, the destination
server organizes the application files relative to the root directory
on the development machine.
The deployment tool maintains its own root directory settings, which
can be different from the root directories of other Netscape server
products installed on the same machine.
Registering and Choosing Servers
To
deploy to one or more servers, you must register the server machine
with Netscape Application Builder.
Register Servers
If
the servers do not appear in the Registered Servers list on the
left, click Register. Enter the relevant information about
each deployment machine and click Register. Click Close
to dismiss this dialog box when you have registered all deployment
machines:
Server
Type
|
Specify
whether this machine runs a Web server in addition to or instead
of an application server. If a Web server exists on the machine
where you are deploying your application, static entities
such as graphic images, static HTML pages, and JavaScript
files can be served from there.
|
Server
or Server:Port
|
Specify
the machine name and, if necessary, an alternate port number,
depending on how your server is configured.
|
User
Name & Password
|
Specify
a valid user name and password for this machine. You can get
these from the administrator who installed the software on
this server. Be sure this user has permission to write to
the application server and/or Web server document repositories.
|
Choose Servers
In
the Deploy Project dialog box, select which servers to deploy. To
remove a server from the list of registered servers, select it and
click Un-Register.
