13.3.1 <strong>Server</strong> types<br />

Table 13-1 lists the types of servers supported by Studio Site Developer.<br />

Table 13-1 Summary of server types<br />

<strong>Server</strong> type Use<br />

<strong>WebSphere</strong> Version 5.0<br />

debug the Web objects running on it.<br />

Other types<br />

J2EE Publishing server Used for publishing static Web and J2EE projects to<br />

a remote location or a J2EE application server<br />

(assumes port 80). This just copies the application<br />

to the specified directory. It does not update<br />

httpd.conf, nor does it allow you to start or stop the<br />

server. It is always “started.” There is no stop option.<br />

Static Web publishing server Used for publishing Web projects to an HTTP server.<br />

TCP/IP monitoring server Allows you to monitor TCP/IP activity between the<br />

Web browser and application server (does not<br />

publish or run applications).<br />

We will focus on the Express server and Express test environment. For<br />

information on the others, please refer to the help contents in Studio Site<br />

Developer.<br />

13.4 Using the Express test environment<br />

The easiest way to get started with testing applications is to begin with the<br />

<strong>WebSphere</strong> test environment. This should be the first place you deploy an<br />

application during development and where you test at each development stage.<br />

To use the test environment, you need to do the following:<br />

1. Create a server and server configuration.<br />

2. Publish the enterprise application to the server.<br />
