How to Use This Guide

This guide is divided into two major sections:

• Chapter 2, Installation and Configuration

• Chapter 3, Using Sun GlassFish Web Space Server Software

The best way to use this guide depends on whether someone has already installed Sun GlassFish Web Space Server 10.0 software for you to explore or whether you want to install Web Space Server yourself.

• If Web Space Server has already been installed by someone else — Skip the installation chapter and jump ahead to Chapter 3, Using Sun GlassFish Web Space Server Software to start using Web Space Server right away. Most users fall into this category. Web Space Server is browser-based, so if someone has given you the address to use for a Web Space Server installation, you can just point your browser to it and you do not need to install anything on your system.

• If you want to install or upgrade Web Space Server yourself — If you are a system administrator, application developer, or general user who wants to install Web Space Server for yourself or your organization, start with Chapter 2, Installation and Configuration.

Whichever kind of user you are, it is recommended that you read the remainder of this chapter to get a sense of what Web Space Server is and what it can do for your organization. You may also find it useful to refer to Chapter 4, Frequently Asked Questions for answers to common questions about Web Space Server software.
