Java Servlets and JavaServerPages (JSP)
How Server-Side Applications are
Installed on the Server
Each type of program is installed onto the server differently. The following list
summarizes the procedures:
• For Java servlets, you can configure your server to recognize all files in
certain directories as servlets, and/or you can set up virtual pathnames for
servlets. For more information, see “What Does the Server Need to Run
Servlets and JSP?.”
• For CGI programs, you can configure your server to recognize all files with
certain filename extensions and/or all files in specified directories as CGI
programs. For more information, see “Installing CGI Programs,” “Installing
Windows NT CGI Programs,” and “Installing Shell CGI Programs for
Windows NT.”
• For JavaScript applications, you must check in each application individually
through the Application Manager, which you can access from the Enterprise
Server. For more information, see “Installing Server-Side JavaScript
Applications.”
These installation procedures are described in the following sections.
