Setting Up a Server Instance

Setting Up a Server Instance

To deploy components or applications to the iPlanet Application Server using Forte for Java, you must declare iPlanet Application Server Instances.

To create a local or remote server instance:

From the Explorer window, select the Runtime tab.

Open the Server Registry node, the Installed Servers node, then the iPlanet Application Server 6.5 node.

NOTE: If the iPlanet Application Server node is not displayed, then the integration module is not installed or it is not enabled.

Right click on the Server Instances node and select Add a Local iPlanet Application Server Instance to create a local instance. Select Add a Remote iPlanet Application Server Instance to create a remote instance.

The iPlanet Application Server Properties window appears.

Select each field to enter the appropriate information.

Admin Port Number Enter the port number of the local or remote Administrative Server. During installation of the iPlanet Application Server this is set by default to port number 10817.

If you are unsure of the port number, perform the following steps:

From a command tool, type kregedit, to launch the iPlanet Application Server Registration Editor.
Locate the SOFTWARE\iplanet\Application Server\6.5\Admin\Port<PortNumber>
Enter the port number you just located in the Admin Port Number field.

Admin User Name Enter the username for the local or remote iPlanet Administration Server. The "admin" username is set by default.

Admin User Password Enter the password for the local or remote iPlanet Administrative Server. If your local server has registered with the Administration Tool, then the password should be set by default.

Connector URL Accept the default URL setting. The URL displayed should be http://<LocalOrRemoteHostname>:<LocalOrRemotePortNumber>/NASApp.

Host Name Accept the default URL setting for local host, modify the default host name to your remote host name.

Select the close box to dismiss the Properties window.

A node representing your local or remote server appears under the Server Instances node in the Explorer.

Right click on the newly created server node and select Set as Default to set the selected server instance as the default instance to deploy to the iPlanet Application Server.

When you set the server instance as default, the J2EE Applications and Web Module subnodes under the Default Servers node display changes to identify the default server instance.

For Local Server Instance only:

There are three sub-nodes under the local server instance listing Registered DataSources, Deployed Modules, and Deployed Applications. .

The next step in the iPlanet Application Server Integration Module Tutorial is creating a web module.
