If the session type in the
application settings dialog
is set to "Servlet", the following settings are displayed in the middle part of the dialog:
-
Java VM
Choose the Java VM to run JProfiler's integrated Apache Tomcat.
Java VMs are configured on the
"Java VMs" tab
of JProfiler's general settings
which are accessible by clicking the
[General
settings] button on the bottom of the dialog.
-
Tomcat HTTP port
Select the port on which the integrated Apache Tomcat will listen for
HTTP requests. After you open a servlet session, a web browser pointing to
http://localhost:[port] will be opened.
-
Path to web.xml
Select the web.xml file associated with your web project. Your
web project will be mounted as the Tomcat root context. If you leave this path
empty, the default root context of JProfiler's integrated Apache Tomcat will
be profiled.
By clicking on the [...] button you can bring up a file chooser
to select a web.xml file.
-
Context path
If your web application requires a different context path, you can enter it here.
The integrated Tomcat is located in the tomcat directory of your JProfiler
installation. JProfiler modifies conf/server.xml on every start of a servlet.
The first Context that is found in this file is modified.
Note: This session type is for demonstration purposes only.
To profile your own installation of Tomcat or other application servers, please
use the application server integration wizards available on
the New session tab of the
start center.
