Web Connection User's Guide
After you have installed Web Connection and set up
your server, you must define your Web browser launch options in VisualAge
before you can test an application. The Web browser launch options
determine what VisualAge does when you test your Web application.
To set your launch options, do the following:
- From the System Transcript Tools pull-down, select Open
Web Browser Launch Options.

- Select a default browser to use when testing. If you select either
Use Netscape, Use Internet Explorer, or Use Other
Browser, VisualAge will use that Web browser to display your Web
application. If you are running VisualAge on a Windows platform and you
select Use HTML File Association, VisualAge will use the
association set up on your computer for HTML files. If you don't
have a Web browser installed, specify None. With
None specified, selecting the Test button will save your
application and return to the Composition Editor. If you don't
want a Web browser to open every time you select the Test button, but you want
to view your Web application in a browser, you can specify Copy URL to
Clipboard to copy the URL of your Web application to the clipboard then
paste the URL in your browser when you are ready to view the
application.
- If you selected a browser, specify the location of the browser's
executable file in the entry field that corresponds to the browser
selected.
- In the Default URL prefix field, specify the server's
hostname. For example
hostname.location.com/abtwsi/
hostname.location.com/servlet/com.ibm.abt.web.servlet.Router
hostname.location.com/AbtWebConnect
Note: | Under WebSphere, the launch URL field for the browser is:
hostname.location.com/servlet/Router
|
- Save your VisualAge Smalltalk image.
For more information on determining the server's hostname, see the
section on URL format.
