About the J2EETM Server Integration Module

The J2EE Server Integration module provides an application program interface (API) for J2EE application server and web server plugin modules. It also displays several nodes on the Runtime tab of the Explorer for managing server plugins and their relationships to applications created in the IDE.

Vendors of and can use the server plugin API to create server plugin modules that work with the IDE, making it easier for you to deploy applications to their servers. This API is described on the Netbeans web site at http://j2eeserver.netbeans.org/.

When a server plugin has been installed, you can see its node on the Runtime tab of the Explorer under the Installed Servers subnode of the Server Registry node.

For example, the following figure shows the nodes for the Tomcat server plugin and the J2EE Reference Implementation. (The latter ships with Forte for Java Enterprise Edition.)

Above the Installed Servers node are two nodes you can use to specify the servers that the IDE uses by default when you deploy your applications:
