► Studio Site Developer <strong>Server</strong> tools<br />

Developers who have control over an application server, whether it be in the<br />

Studio Site Developer test environment, or a remote application server set up<br />

for their use, will use the <strong>Server</strong> tools provided with Studio Site Developer,<br />

including elements like the <strong>Server</strong> perspective, <strong>Server</strong>s view, and Console<br />

view. The person managing and configuring the server is doing so from a<br />

workstation with Studio Site Developer installed. Using the <strong>Server</strong> tools, you<br />

can define servers, configure them, start and stop them, monitor their activity,<br />

and publish applications to them. In addition, you have access to the<br />

administrative console from the <strong>Server</strong> tools.<br />

Important: As a general rule, an application server should only be<br />

administered in one way. In other words, if you use the administrative console<br />

to administer a server, do not also use the <strong>Server</strong> tools to administer it. Any<br />

changes made by the administrative console will not be seen by the <strong>Server</strong><br />

tools and vice versa.<br />

In this redbook, we will discuss using the <strong>Server</strong> tools to manage application<br />

servers and deploy applications to them. Information about the administrative<br />

console and commands can be found in the <strong>WebSphere</strong> <strong>Application</strong> <strong>Server</strong> -<br />

Express V5.0.1 Administrator Handbook, SG24-6976.<br />

13.1.2 Managing test application servers<br />

Figure 13-1 on page 458 shows an application development scenario. In this<br />

example, when <strong>WebSphere</strong> <strong>Application</strong> <strong>Server</strong> - Express was installed on the<br />

development machine, the default install options were taken, meaning that both<br />

Studio Site Developer (including the <strong>WebSphere</strong> test environment) and a<br />

standalone Express <strong>Application</strong> <strong>Server</strong> were installed. In addition, Express<br />

<strong>Application</strong> <strong>Server</strong> was installed on three remote systems to allow testing on<br />

multiple platforms.<br />
