Configuring a generic web server for a web application

It is only possible to select a generic server if a corresponding web server instance was previously added to the server. Control of the generic web server is not provided by default, but it is possible using scripts. If these scripts are not available, the procedure is identical to that of the external web server with activated “Download the war file” option.

If a generic web server is to be activated for a project-specific web area, the following steps are required:

1. Select the entry from the combo box for the desired generic web server.
2. The Install button becomes active. If the corresponding functionality has been provided via a script, clicking on the button will copy the WAR file, unpack it automatically to the respective web server and register the individual components on the web server (the relevant script-based web server control must be configured beforehand within the Server properties).
3. After installation the configuration of the web area switches to the generic web server, which is then displayed as the active web server for this area.
