Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 Update 6 Developer's Guide to Java Web Applications

Deployment Tools

Using Sun Java Studio Enterprise 8.1

Web Server supports Sun Java Studio Enterprise 8.1, Standard Edition. You can use Sun Java Studio to assemble and deploy web applications. Sun Java Studio Enterprise 8.1 is based on NetBeans™ software, and integrated with the Sun Java platform. Sun Java Studio Enterprise 8.1 also supports NetBeans 5.5.

Sun Java Studio support is available on all platforms supported by Sun Java Studio Enterprise 8.1. The plug-in for the Web Server is obtained in the following ways:

Note –

The Sun Java Studio Enterprise 8.1 for Web Server works only with a local Web Server (that is, with the IDE and the Web Server on the same machine).

For information about using the web application features in Sun Java Studio Enterprise 8.1, explore the resources at http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jsstandard/reference/docs/index.html.

The behavior of the Sun Java Studio Enterprise 8.1 plug-in for Web Server is the same as that for Sun Java System Application Server 8. If you’re using the Web Application Tutorial at the site listed above, for instance, you would set the Web Server instance as the default, and then take the same actions described in the tutorial.
