| <p id="cwres_p1">If a server has server configuration files, in most situations, | |

| <section id="cwres_server_project"><title>Server Project</title><p>A <i>server | |
| project</i> contains servers and server configuration files. When a server | |
| project is created automatically by the workbench, the name given to the project | |
| is <uicontrol>Servers</uicontrol> and is available in the Project Explorer | |
| view under the Other Projects folder.</p></section> | |
| <section id="cwres_servers"><title id="cwres_servers_title">Server</title><p | |
| id="cwres_servers_p1">A <i>server</i> identifies where you want to test or | |
| publish your application. A server points to a specific runtime environment | |
| such as a local test environment, a full installation of a server, or a server | |
| on another machine. A server contains the logic of how to publish to the server; | |
| and what application projects and configurations to run.</p><p id="cwres_servers_p2">On | |
| the workbench, when the metadata of the server is automatically created, it | |
| is stored in a <i>serverName</i>.server file, where <i>serverName</i> is the | |
| name assigned to the server. For details on the metadata of the server, refer | |
| to the <i>Displaying or hiding the metadata of the server</i> link at the | |
| bottom of this topic.</p></section> | |
| <section><title id="cwres_serverconfig_title">Server configurations</title><p | |
| id="cwres_serverconfig_p1"><ph>Server configurations are files that contains | |
| information that is required to set up and publish to a server. For example, | |
| these files may include information about what port to run the server, security | |
| preferences and other vendor-specific server settings.</ph></p><p id="cwres_serverconfig_p2">On | |
| the workbench, the metadata of the server configurations is automatically | |
| created and stored in a <i>configuration data folder</i> under a server project. | |
| The naming convention of the configuration data folder is dependant on the | |
| vendor, typically it has the following convention: <i>serverName</i>@<i>hostname</i>-config, | |
| where <i>serverName</i> is the name assigned to the server, and <i>hostname</i> is | |
| the fully qualified DNS name or IP address of the host machine where the server | |
| is running.</p></section> | |
| <section id="cwres_installed_runtime"><title>Installed Server Runtime Environment</title>You | |
| need to define the runtime environment of an application server for compiling | |
| your application. A server contains a reference to an installed server runtime | |
| environment it is currently using. For details on how to define an installed | |
| server runtime environment, refer to the <i>Defining the installed server | |
| runtime environments</i> link at the bottom of this topic.</section> | |
| <section id="cwres_relationship"><title>Relationship between the resources</title><p>For | |
| each server, you can specify the server configuration and installed server | |
| runtime environment that should be used for that server. A server can only | |
| point to one or no server configuration. However, a server configuration can | |
| be pointed from one or more servers.</p><p>A relationship between a server | |
| configuration and an application project, for example an EAR project, is created | |
| when a project is added to the server configuration. A server can point to | |
| one or more projects. A project can be pointed from one or more server configurations.</p></section> | |
