Walks you through the process of configuring the provided ESDEMO
enterprise server instance by adding a deployment directory and configuring ESDEMO to use it.
To successfully deploy and run or debug a Java service interface, you must have an
enterprise server instance started in
Enterprise Server. For these tutorials, we provide the ESDEMO
enterprise server instance.
Start the Server Explorer
The
Server Explorer expandable ribbon is visible in Visual Studio on the top left side of the IDE by default when using
Enterprise Developer. However, if it is not visible:
- In Visual Studio, click
View > Server Explorer.
Start Enterprise Server Common Web Administration (ESCWA)
Configure the Web listener in ESCWA
You need to enable the Web listener in ESDEMO to start automatically when you start the
enterprise server instance.
- In ESCWA, click
NATIVE.
- In the navigation pane, expand
Directory Servers > Default, and then select the
ESDEMO
enterprise server instance.
- On the
GENERAL drop-down list, select
Listeners.
- Expand
Communications Process 1, and click
Web.
- Change the
Requested Status field to
Stopped.
- Click
APPLY.
Important: The default deployment directory used by
Enterprise Server is a subdirectory,
deploy, within your
Enterprise Developer installation directory structure. If you have Administrator privileges to this subdirectory, or if you started
Visual Studio using
Run as Administrator, you are not required to complete this section of the tutorial. Otherwise, you must complete this section to create and configure an alternative deployment directory.
Create and configure a deployment directory
- Create the
deploy directory
- Without Administrator privileges, you cannot deploy to
Enterprise Server from the default
Enterprise Developer deployment folder. To ensure successful deployment, create a
deploy subdirectory in your project.
- In the
Solution Explorer, right-click the project, and then select
Add > New Folder from the context menu.
- Type
deploy; then press
Enter.
- Import the .mfdeploy file
- The new
deploy folder must contain the
.mfdeploy configuration file. You import the file from the
Solution Explorer.
- From the
Solution Explorer, right-click the
deploy folder; then select
Add > Existing Item.
- Browse to the
%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Micro Focus\Enterprise Developer\deploy folder.
- Set the filter drop-down list to
All Files (*.*).
- Double-click the
.mfdeploy file.
- Define the deployment directory in ESCWA
- Now you need to configure your
enterprise server instance by defining the new
deploy project folder as the deployment folder.
- In
ESCWA click
NATIVE.
- In the
ESCWA navigation pane, expand
Directory Servers > Default, and then select your
enterprise server instance.
- On the
GENERAL drop-down list, select
Listeners.
- Expand
Communications Process 1, and click
Web.
- In the
LISTENER PROPERTIES pane, scroll down to the
Custom Configuration field; then within the field, scroll down until you find the relevant code, then change:
uploads=<ES>/deploy
to:
uploads=c:/tutorials/IMTK/project-name/deploy
where
project-name is the name of the project.
- Click
APPLY.
