Configuring HTTP Server Options
See Also
The IDE uses the HTTP server to serve hypertext objects to clients of the IDE.
For example, the HTTP server is used to
create Javadoc pages and provide the pages
to the web browser for display.
 |
The IDE also supports the Tomcat 4 web server, which
is used to compile and execute components such as
JSP pages and servlets.

To configure HTTP server options:
- In the Runtime window, select the HTTP Server node.
- On the property sheet, modify the properties to your preferred settings.
The HTTP server has the following properties:
Properties
- Hosts with Granted Access. Specifies the machines that are allowed
to access the HTTP server. You can type the host names or IP addresses directly
into the text field. Or, you can click the ellipsis button to open a dialog
box with the following elements:
- Any Host. This choice does not restrict access to the server.
- Selected Hosts. This choice restricts access so that only the
machine on which the IDE is running and the machines that you specify
in the Grant Access To text area are allowed access.
- Grant Access To. This text area accepts a comma-separated list
of machine names or IP addresses.
- Port. Specifies the port number on which the HTTP server operates.
- Running. If True, the HTTP server is running. You can start or stop
the IDE's internal HTTP server by right-clicking the HTTP Server node and
choosing Start/Stop HTTP Server.
- Show Grant Access Dialog. If True, opens a dialog box when you ask
to allow access to the HTTP server from a host without granted access. If
False, access is automatically denied.
Expert
- Base Class Path URL.
Specifies a URL that you can type into the external browser
to browse the Java class path and resources
hierarchy. For example,
if you set the Base Class Path URL to /classpath/, you would type http://{my-machine-name}:8082/classpath/ in the browser.
- Base Filesystems URL.
Specifies a URL that you can type
into an external browser to browse your mounted filesystems.
For example,
if you set the Base Filesystems URL to /repository/, you would type http://{my-machine-name}:8082/repository/ in the browser.
- Base Javadoc URL.
Specifies a URL that you can type
into an external browser to browse your Javadoc filesystem. For example,
if you set the Base Javadoc URL to /javadoc/, you would type http://{my-machine-name}:8082/javadoc/ in the browser.
