Preview JSP through IPlanet

Hi,
I have a requirement where in an IPlanet Webserver is being used to serves some JSP files.These JSP are dynamic of nature.
Now there is another machine on which the TEAMSITE needs to be installed(Solaris).

After teamsite installation, through the Teamsite Templating, when we preview the Pages, It needs to connect to the other Machine and fetch those JSP files. I mean, Preview the JSP files, present on the the other machine.

I am not totally aware how to do this, but i think it can be acheived through a HTTP Post request, using virtualization.

Please correct me if this is not possible and and help me acheive this
Thanks in advance

Hi Hemanth,

Please write a regular expression in iw.cfg file for the JSP files located in the specified workarea.. and specify that for all files.. with JSP extension... use a IPlanet webServer located on some other Machine...

You need to create a virtual directory / doc root in IPlanet web server, which points to TeamSite IWServer Share .. and then the pages can be previewed and Generated ...

I hope it helps.. Please consult TeamSite Guides for writing regular expression to do the required.

Thanks a lot for the Help. I will try this option. However i have another doubt, What if the JSP files and physically present in the other machine (IPlanet) and not in Teamsite server. Then how do we accomplish the Preview or Generate

I'm not an expert in the ways of JSPs - but from recollection (always a chance at being wrong) - you need to do a couple of things:
1) make sure the remote JSP engine has mount-point back to the TeamSite server - usually one that begins with /iw-mount/ - for the reason, I think you may need to have "instances" of the JSP engine associated with specific workareas
2) make sure that on your TeamSite server you have iwproxy configurations that take paths for JSP files and re-route them to the JSP engine.

This has always been a bit of a black-art to me, but then again, I've only dealt with trying to set this up one or two times over 4 years, it's not my forte...

A number of customers have opted to forgoe virtualization through TeamSite, and instead do "preview" deployments to an App Server and have individuals examine the product that way rather than directly through TeamSite.
