3.1 The workspace<br />

Studio Site Developer maintains a workspace where the project data (files) are<br />

stored. Every time you save a resource, the changes are stored in the file<br />

system. The first time Studio Site Developer starts, you are given the option to<br />

select a directory for the workspace or take the default. The installation default on<br />

Windows is:<br />

C:\Documents and Settings\userid\My Documents\<strong>IBM</strong>\wasexpress\<br />

workspace<br />

For Linux, the default is:<br />

$home/<strong>IBM</strong>/wasexpress/workspace<br />

Figure 3-1 Selecting the workspace<br />

In this window, you also have the option of suppressing the message on future<br />

startups and always using the current directory you specify.<br />

Tip: If you choose to suppress the workspace option at startup, you can<br />

change your mind later. Simply start Studio Site Developer with the following<br />

commands:<br />

cd <br />

wasexpress -setworkspace<br />

The option box will appear during the startup.<br />

Since there is a memory overhead associated with having multiple projects in the<br />

workspace at the same time, you may wish to configure multiple workspaces for<br />

different projects. This reduces the amount of clutter in the navigator views, and<br />

also minimizes the number of entries in the <strong>Server</strong> control panel, making it easier<br />

to find a particular server configuration or instance. Each workspace is created<br />

as a separate folder in the file system.<br />
