This guide has the following sections:
Introduces you to a few basic tasks associated with Sun Java System Web Server, including starting and accessing the server.
Chapter 2, Creating and Using Virtual Servers
Demonstrates the creation and use of listen sockets, virtual server classes, and virtual servers.
Chapter 3, Enabling Access Control
Shows how you can configure access control to protect resources on a virtual server.
Demonstrates how to set up a virtual server to support web publishing through Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) and also, how to access resources using a WebDAV-enabled client.
Chapter 5, Making Content Searchable
Demonstrates how you can use the search functionality to make content searchable on a virtual server.
Chapter 6, Running Java Web Applications On Your Server
Uses a sample application to show how you can deploy a Java web application on a virtual server.
Chapter 7, Setting Up Database Connectivity
Shows how you can set up database connectivity on a virtual server and create J2SE resources to store and retrieve data from a database.
Demonstrates how to enable a virtual server to handle dynamic content using Common Gateway Interface (CGI) programs.
Chapter 9, Using Sun Java System Active Server Pages
Demonstrates how to enable a virtual server to handle dynamic content using SunTM Java System Active Server Pages.
This section describes the types of conventions used throughout this guide:
File and directory paths are given in UNIX® format (with forward slashes separating directory names). For Windows versions, the directory paths are the same, except that backslashes are used to separate directories.
URLs are given in the format:
http://server.domain/path/ file.html
In these URLs, server is the server name where applications are run; domain is your Internet domain name; path is the server’s directory structure; and file is an individual filename. Italic items in URLs are placeholders.
Font conventions include:
The monospace font is used for sample code and code listings, API and language elements (such as function names and class names), file names, pathnames, directory names, and HTML tags.
Italic type is used for code variables.
Italic type is also used for book titles, emphasis, variables and placeholders, and words used in the literal sense.
Bold type is used as either a paragraph lead-in or to indicate words used in the literal sense.
Installation root directories are indicated by install_dir in this document.
By default, the location of install_dir on UNIX-based platforms is:
/opt/SUNWwbsvr/
On Windows, it is:
C:\Sun\WebServer6.1
