You can see the default layout of the Web perspective in Figure 5-1 on page 78.<br />

Project files in the Project Navigator view show a structured view of the<br />

application. Double-clicking a file in the navigator will open it in the editor area<br />

(center) using the Page Designer.<br />

The toolbar and drop-down options at the top give you easy access to tools and<br />

wizards designed to make building Web applications easy. The items in the<br />

toolbar change based on the active editor and resource. You can control the<br />

options you see to some extent by modifying the toolbar viewing options in the<br />

Toolbar drop-down.<br />

The default views in the Web perspective are designed and positioned for<br />

optimum efficiency. Note that the default layout for perspectives tends to change<br />

over time from one product release to another. This can be due to new views,<br />

usability feedback, or just the fact that developers have discovered a more<br />

convenient and popular way of doing things. In Studio Site Developer V5.1, the<br />

Web perspective has the following views in its default layout:<br />

► Project Navigator<br />

► Gallery<br />

► Struts Explorer<br />

► Attributes<br />

► Styles<br />

► Thumbnails<br />

► Quick Edit<br />

► Tasks<br />

► Colors<br />

► <strong>Server</strong>s<br />

► Palette<br />

► Snippets<br />

Other views may appear as you perform tasks. For example, the first time you<br />

test an application and use the <strong>Server</strong>s view, the Console view will appear.<br />

We will discuss a few of the default views briefly here, and in addition, a few other<br />

views that we find helpful in working with Web applications. For information about<br />

adding views and rearranging the views on your workspace, see 3.2.3,<br />

“Customizing perspectives” on page 52. The descriptions of all views can be<br />

found in the Studio help text.<br />
