Global Tomcat 3.1 Setup dialog box

This is a feature of JBuilder Enterprise.

The Global Tomcat 3.1 Setup dialog box configures Tomcat. The three tabs represent the three areas of Tomcat: the main web server engine, the servlet container, and the JSP container, also known as Jasper.

The top part of the dialog box configures Tomcat Logging options. The bottom part configures paths.

To display this dialog box, choose the Setup button on the Server Options tab of the JSP/Servlet tab on the Run page of the Project Properties dialog box.

Class page

JBuilder will automatically detect Tomcat JARs in the jbuilder/lib and jbuilder/tomcat/lib directories at startup. You should only have to set these paths manually if you install another version of Tomcat in a different directory. You must specify valid paths, or the Web Run/Debug feature will fail with Tomcat.

Paths are searched in the order listed. To switch the order of paths, use the Move Up and Move Down buttons.

Source page

Displays the path or paths the compiler searches for source files. Files can be zipped into a ZIP or JAR file.

Paths are searched in the order listed. To switch the order of paths, use the Move Up and Move Down buttons.

Documentation page

Displays the path or paths that contain the HTML documentation files. This allows reference documentation to be displayed in the doc pane.

Paths are searched in the order listed. To switch the order of paths, use the Move Up and Move Down buttons.
