Using TeamSite WebServer

Hi,

I understand that when we install Interwoven TeamSite, an internal web server (tomcat/apache) gets installed using which it servers it product related JSP and other web pages.

Can I use this internal WebServer to virtualize my html and Jsp pages sitting on my workarea ?

If yes, can someone let me know what that works??

Sunil

Do NOT do this - (a) it is unsupported, (b) although the JSP processing is sufficient for *our* needs, it does not necessarily support everything you are going to want for your needs.

Case in point, I was recently working at a customer site where they did just this - and we spent the better part of a week trying to track down why odd characters were showing up in their JSP pages when viewed in TeamSite.

Turns out that Tomcat supports JSP 1.1 - but they needed (and their production BEA WebLogic server provided) JSP 1.2. Among the differences are that JSP 1.1. does *not* appear to handle dynmaic includes of HTML content in UTF-8 format - which means that many HTML entity references get mangled and things like non-blocking spaces (&nbsp Smiley Wink

turn into "A" with a "~" above it when viewed in their JSP rendered by Tomcat. (copyrights, trademarks, and other such things got similarly mangled).

You will be much better served [no pun intended] and supported, by using a separate JSP engine for rendering your content within TeamSite context.

OK Thanx for your Best practise suggestion !!

Now I need other suggestion..

We are trying to virtualize web content stored on TeamSite Server using an iPlanet WebServer located remotely.

In order to communicate with the remote webserver, I understand that I need to map the TeamSite repository (IWSERVER) to a local drive on another Windows machine running iPlanet WebServer.

On the iPlanet WebServer I created an additional document directory as Alias /iw-mount pointing to the mapped drive (S Smiley Happy

.

But the content is not accessible when I point my broswer to the URL
http://<IPLANET SERVER>/iw-mount/default/main/WORKAREA/test/index.jsp

The error log shows : "Can't find S:\/default/main/WORKAREA/test/index.jsp (No access rights)

The IWSERVER directory has "Full Control" for Everyone as shared permissions.

Our Environment
TeamSite Server : TeamSite 5.5.2 on Win 2K Professional with No Service Packs
iPlanet WebServer: iPlanet 6.0 on Windows NT

Both the servers are running on differnt machines within the same domain.

Kindly look into this and guide us accordingly.

You need to set up the perms so that the user that iPlanet is running as has read access to all files. The easiest way to do that is probably to use a network user (not a local user). Add this user to the "teamsite web preview" local group on the TS server. When you do your mapped drive, map it using this user. You may also need to run iPlanet as this user; I am not sure.

NT permissions are rather complicated (and I'm no expert), so it may take some fiddling to get this to work.
