The invention provides a mechanism for convenient management for configuring and selecting servers for running modules. The invention provides a method for managing a plurality of servers including receiving a request to configure a suitable server being suitable for running a module, locating an identifier of the suitable server from a table comprising identifiers of suitable servers, configuring the suitable server to run the module.

Selection and configuration of servers

Embodiments of the present invention separates raw server configuration data (data describing how the server is to operate&#x2014;e.g., network port number, security settings, software drivers, etc.) from server instance data (data which describes where to run a server and how to process user code&#x2014;e.g., which directories to access, where the user code is located, etc.). Embodiments of the present invention may have raw server configuration data and server instance data stored as, for example, text files. A file embodying raw server configuration data may be copied and reused on multiple computer systems. Similarly, a file embodying server instance data may also be copied and reused on multiple computer systems. Embodiments of the present invention process the raw server configuration data file and the server instance file to generate an overall server configuration file which configures a server to operate in the desired manner so that user code can be successfully deployed on the configured server. The overall configuration file created may include server environment parameters that are required to initialize or start a server.

The universal, Web browser-based Enterprise JavaBean (EJB) test client is itself a Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) application packaged in a Web archive file. This archive, when extracted, consists of a set of files that are installed on a target application server. The installation makes it possible for a user of a Web browser on a workstation remote from the application server to perform a number of tests on, and invoke, methods in EJB beans that are installed on the staging, or even production, servers. It is also possible to perform tests in real time under real conditions.

This invention describes a system and method for monitoring the execution of hybrid source code such as JavaServer Pages (JSP) code. The system comprises a page compiler, which is called by a server for translating JSP code into a servlet for execution by the server. The page compiler during translation of the JSP code inserts instrumentation in the compiled JSP code for supporting execution tracing by an execution monitor. The execution monitor receives outputs from the page compiler, the servlet and the raw JSP code for displaying selected information about the execution of the JSP code to the developer on a graphical user interface. The execution monitor thus allows the developer to view the correlation between the JSP code, the servlet code and the HTML code that is generated by the servlet.
