2. WTP | Server Tools Open House | © 2005 by IBM; made available under the EPL v1.0 2 Agenda  Plugins  Contributors  API Status  Quality  Current work items

3. WTP | Server Tools Open House | © 2005 by IBM; made available under the EPL v1.0 3 WST Server Plugins  Server Tools Framework  org.eclipse.wst.server.core*  org.eclipse.wst.server.ui*  org.eclipse.wst.server.util  Adds notion of a “server” to Eclipse  Starting/stopping servers, publishing, targeting projects, adding & removing modules  Framework for adding new server types  Servers view, wizards, editor framework, etc.  Ability to choose resource and Run on Server  Depends only on Eclipse * Contains API

4. WTP | Server Tools Open House | © 2005 by IBM; made available under the EPL v1.0 4 WST Internet Plugins  TCP/IP Monitor  org.eclipse.wst.internet.monitor.core**  org.eclipse.wst.internet.monitor.ui**  Monitor for Web pages, Web services  Shows request from client and the server’s response  Useful for understanding applications, debugging, etc.  Supports TCP/IP and HTTP  View bytes, images, or XML ** Contains provisional API

5. WTP | Server Tools Open House | © 2005 by IBM; made available under the EPL v1.0 5 WST Internet Plugins  Web Browser utilities  org.eclipse.wst.internet.webbrowser  The internal Web browser and support for launching external browsers moved into Eclipse in 3.1M6  Utilities for the Eclipse browser plugin  Easily switch between browsers, toolbar button to open internal browser

6. WTP | Server Tools Open House | © 2005 by IBM; made available under the EPL v1.0 6 WST Internet Plugins  Proxy Settings  org.eclipse.wst.internet.proxy  Manage internet proxy configuration and JRE properties  Preference page  HTTP proxy servers and firewalls  Authenticating proxy servers  SOCKS  Likely to move to Eclipse 3.2

7. WTP | Server Tools Open House | © 2005 by IBM; made available under the EPL v1.0 7 WST Internet Plugins  Internet Cache  org.eclipse.wst.internet.cache  Caches documents requested from the internet  Currently only used by the XML resolver

8. WTP | Server Tools Open House | © 2005 by IBM; made available under the EPL v1.0 8 JST Server Plugins  J2EE server utilities  org.eclipse.jst.server.core*  org.eclipse.jst.server.ui  Generic Server support  org.eclipse.jst.server.generic.core*  org.eclipse.jst.server.generic.serverdefinition  org.eclipse.jst.server.generic.ui  Adds support for J2EE servers to be defined using plain XML files  No code required, add support for a new server in minutes .serverdefinition plugin contains adapters for WebLogic, JONaS, and JBoss

9. WTP | Server Tools Open House | © 2005 by IBM; made available under the EPL v1.0 9 JST Server Plugins  Apache Tomcat Server support  org.eclipse.jst.server.tomcat.core  org.eclipse.jst.server.tomcat.ui  Apache Geronimo Server support  org.eclipse.jst.server.geronimo.core  org.eclipse.jst.server.geronimo.ui

10. WTP | Server Tools Open House | © 2005 by IBM; made available under the EPL v1.0 10 Server Tools Contributors  Gorkem Ercan  Generic server support and adapters for JONaS, WebLogic, JBoss  Larry Isaacs (SAS)  Tomcat support  Tim deBoer (IBM)  Server Tools framework, TCP/IP monitor, Tomcat support  Elson Yuen (IBM)  Server Tools framework  Ted Bashor, Thomas Yip, Konstantin Komissarchik (BEA)  Server Tools API  Tim Francis (IBM)  Geronimo support

11. WTP | Server Tools Open House | © 2005 by IBM; made available under the EPL v1.0 11 API Status  Done! … almost  API is basically ready to go. Based on past experience we’re reasonably comfortable with the current content  Reasonable validation through several servers and API users in WTP  BEA and IBM are both in the process of validating the API internally  Provisional APIs:  TCP/IP Monitor  Parts of server tools relating to features

12. WTP | Server Tools Open House | © 2005 by IBM; made available under the EPL v1.0 12 Quality  Initial code contribution was shipped in previous products. Although it has undergone lots of cleanup and refactoring since then, much of the code is still stable  We’ve been fixing bugs continuously to keep the code relatively stable throughout  Bugs have been slowing growing – 30 currently on queue  Still some work to do to get ship-ready

13. WTP | Server Tools Open House | © 2005 by IBM; made available under the EPL v1.0 13 Current Work Items - Assembly  Each server type has it’s own requirements on assembly  Does it happen on build or on publish?  Do utility projects get jarred up? Does complete EAR file get created?  The current.deployables directory is server specific and should not be in the workspace  Working with J2EE team and BEA to define an assembly mechanism  Provide support to assemble modules in.metadata  Assembly can be done via a builder or as part of a publish  Everything is under the server’s control

14. WTP | Server Tools Open House | © 2005 by IBM; made available under the EPL v1.0 14 Current Work Items - Features  Proposal from BEA to enable/disable fine grained features on a module/component  Allows better control over classpath, UI, and which servers support a module that has extensions  Recently deferred to 1.1  Marking affected classes as provisional API  Still investigating to keep options open and migration low

15. WTP | Server Tools Open House | © 2005 by IBM; made available under the EPL v1.0 15 For more information  Component overviews  Overviews exist for all three components (wst.internet, wst.server, jst.server) on the WTP website  Some documentation about specific function:  Run on Server  Generic servers  EclipseCon presentation  API – javadoc in code or in online help  Bugzilla  Feel free to open enhancement requests for unclear javadoc, further documentation you’d like to see, etc.

16. WTP | Server Tools Open House | © 2005 by IBM; made available under the EPL v1.0 16 Help Needed  We’re not done yet!  If you are planning on using or building on WTP, we can use your help with:  API review  Bug fixes  Testing  JUnit tests  Feedback
