| Defining a server on another host [message #159193] |

When I try to define a new server, there is a text field for the host
name. However, if I type in anything other than localhost and scan for
server types, all I get is Apache and Geronimo 1.0. If I push on a bit
further, I get a list of Tomcat versions.
Where does WTP get this list of server types from? It's not the same list
as when host=localhost.
Is it even possible to define a server that is on a host different than
your development box?

Ok -- I found older threads that state that currently remote servers are
not supported. But there was a post (Oct 18, 2004 from Tim deBoer) that
said Servers on Mapped Network drives could be supported.
My remote Tomcat server is on a mapped drive, but I don't see how I can
set it up, because the New Server dialog wipes out the server type list
as soon as I enter a host name other than localhost.
Is there anything I can do to get Tomcat 5.5 to show up in the server
type list for my remote server?

If remote servers are not supported then the UI is flawed because it
implies you can define a server for any host.
You can work with Sun's AppServer on localhost:
https://glassfishplugins.dev.java.net/specifications/introdu ction.html
I was thinking of mapping the Appserver directory on my Sun with Samba to
my Windows box running Eclipse, but I wasn't sure if WTP only manipulated
files, or if it also tried to execute commands.

Hey Eric,
Thanks for the glassfish link. That will be a big help.
