Configuring the JSP Executor

From the Project Settings window, you can control how the JSP executor is called, including which java tool to use and the port in which the server is run. When you reconfigure an executor, your changes affect all classes that use that executor.

To configure the JSP executor:

  1. From the main window, choose Project Settings.

  2. In the Project Settings window, expand the Execution Types node and select JSP Execution.

    The properties are presented in two tabs: Properties and Expert.

  3. Modify the values to your preferred settings.

    Properties Tab
    Context base URL The base URL to which the web application will be mapped.
    External Process The command the executor calls to launch the project. By default, the IDE uses the java tool provided with the JDK. For more information on the java command and its options, see http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/tooldocs/solaris/java.html
    Identifying Name The name that the IDE uses to identify this executor type. Classes do not register name changes of executor types. If you change this property, any class that used the executor will revert to using the default executor.
    Port The port on which the server runs. Make sure that the port number does not conflict with any other service running on your machine.

    Expert Tab
    Boot Class Path The path to the classes that make up the Java platform.
    Class Path The path that the IDE uses to look up classes. This value overrides the default or the CLASSPATH environment variable.
    Environment Variables The environment variables that the IDE uses, defined as name=value. When this value is set to null, the IDE settings are used.
    Filesystems Path (Read only) The class path corresponding to the directories that are marked for execution in the filesystem.
    Library Path (Read only) The class path containing the libraries and modules that the IDE uses.
    Working Directory The directory in which to start the process. If the value is null, the IDE's own working directory is used. This feature is available with JDK 1.3 and compatible.
