| <context id="context">The J2EE Preview server is an embedded application server | |
| that is integrated with the workbench. It is intended for preliminary testing | |
| and saves you the time to download, install, and set up an application server. | |
| However, as your J2EE Web project progresses through its development cycle | |
| you are encourage to test and run on an external application server. You | |
| can use the J2EE Preview server as a convenient way to check for errors before | |
| you do a final test on an external application server.<p>To create and test | |
| on a J2EE Preview server for previewing your resources in a J2EE Web project, | |
| complete the following steps:</p></context> | |
