About the J2EETM Server Integration Module

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

Vendors of web servers 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.

Server Registry node, Default Servers subnode, Web Module/Web Module Groups sub-subnode,Installed Servers subnode (of Server Registry node), Tomcat 3.2 sub-subnode

Above the Installed Servers node is a node, Web Module/Web Module Groups, that you can use to specify the server the IDE uses by default when you deploy your applications. Right-click the node and choose Set Default Server, then choose the installed web server you want to use with your web applications.
