3.2.1 Adding a Server

To add (mount) a server in Java Virtual Folders, take the following steps:

1. There are three ways to start this process:

The dialog box in Figure 7 appears.

Figure 7: The Add Hyperwave Server dialog box
2. This dialog box contains the three tabs General, User Identification, and Proxy Settings. GENERAL SETTINGS

Under the General tab enter the following:

Host: The host name of the HWIS you want to connect to. Do not preface the name with "http://"

Port: The port number of the server you are connecting to (optional). If the protocol you are using is HGCSP, the port number should be 418. For HWTP, enter 80 as the port number. Default is 80.

Collection: Enter the Name attribute of the collection you want as your entry point to the server. If no entry is made here, the root collection of the server will be taken as entry point.

Title: After the server is added, this text appears as the title of the server added, so it should be descriptive.

USER IDENTIFICATION

Under User Identification (Figure 8), enter the following (optional):

User: Your user name on the HWIS you are connecting to

Password: Your password on the HWIS you are connecting to

Entering this information makes it so that you will automatically be identified on the server during subsequent sessions with Java Virtual Folders.

PROXY SETTINGS

The tab Proxy Settings (Figure 9) allows you to enter information about a proxy server. These entries must only be made if you are connecting to the desired server over a proxy.
