Adding Application Servers

Figure 8 Application Server Icon

The Logical Host contains one or more instances of a Java EE-compatible application server. This server is the engine that runs Collaborations for processing business logic, and adapters for communicating with external applications. The application server provides services for security, transactions, business rules execution, and connectivity management. Java CAPS contains the Sun Java System Application Server and the Sun JMS IQ Manager.

You can add this component to the Environment by selecting the New > [Application Server Type] option from the Logical Host context menu in the NetBeans Services window, which presents a dialog box in which you enter the component name. Right-clicking the Application Server in the Service window displays its context menu. See Using Environment Component Context Menus.
