Configuring HTTP Server Options
See Also
The IDE uses the HTTP server to serve hypertext objects to clients of the IDE.
For example, the HTTP server is used to
create Javadoc pages and provide the pages
to the web browser for display.

The IDE also supports the Tomcat 4 web server, which
is used to compile and execute components such as
JSP pages and servlets.

To configure HTTP server options:
- In the Runtime tab of the Explorer, select the HTTP Server node.
- On the property sheet, modify the properties to your preferred settings.
The Properties tab has the following properties:
- Hosts with Granted Access.
Specifies the machines that are allowed to access the HTTP server.
You can type the host names or IP addresses directly into the text field.
Or, you can click the ellipsis button to
open a dialog box with the following elements:
- Any Host. This choice does not restrict access to the server.
- Selected Hosts. This choice restricts access so that only the machine on which the IDE is running and the machines that
you specify in the Grant Access To text area are allowed access.
- Grant Access To.
This text area accepts a comma-separated list of
machine names or IP addresses.
- Port.
Specifies the port number on which the HTTP server operates.
- Running.
If True, the HTTP server is running.
You can also choose commands to start or stop the IDE's internal HTTP server by right-clicking the HTTP Server node in the Runtime tab of the Explorer.
- Show Grant Access Dialog.
If True, opens a dialog box when you ask to allow access to the HTTP server
from a host without granted access.
If False, access is automatically denied.
The Expert tab has the following properties:
- Base Class Path URL.
Specifies a URL that you can type into the external browser
to browse the Java class path and resources
hierarchy. For example,
if you set the Base Class Path URL to /classpath/, you would type http://{my-machine-name}:8082/classpath/ in the browser.
- Base Filesystems URL.
Specifies a URL that you can type
into an external browser to browse your mounted filesystems.
For example,
if you set the Base Filesystems URL to /repository/, you would type http://{my-machine-name}:8082/repository/ in the browser.
- Base Javadoc URL.
Specifies a URL that you can type
into an external browser to browse your Javadoc filesystem. For example,
if you set the Base Javadoc URL to /javadoc/, you would type http://{my-machine-name}:8082/javadoc/ in the browser.
