Running a Nexaweb Application

Studio must know which file or URL to use as the start page for the application in order to run the application. By default, the starting page is java-index.xal or ajax-index.xal (or index.nxml prior to Nexaweb Platform 4.5/Studio 3.0). You can specify which file to use as the start page.

To select a file as the start page for an application:

1. In the Navigator view, right-click on the file to make the start page.

2. Select Nexaweb > Make Start Page.

In addition, to deploy and run the application, Nexaweb Studio must have a Web Tools Platform (WTP) server configured.

Nexaweb Studio comes bundled with Apache Tomcat 5.5 and automatically configures Apache Tomcat 5.5 as a runtime sever for application development.

To deploy and run an application with Tomcat 5.5 server, follow these steps:
