Preface

The Railo Web Administrator


In the Railo Web Administrator, you can change many settings regarding how you want the code in the context to behave, what resources it has access to, how output should be handled, and so on.

The Railo Web Administrator is organized into several sections, which are listed as follows:

  • Settings

  • Services

  • Extension

  • Remote

  • Archives and Resources

  • Development

  • Security

  • Documentation

These menu items are likely to change, depending on which plugins and extensions you have installed (we shall go into Railo Extensions in detail later in the book), but the main structure is set.

Remember, any changes that you make to the Railo Web Administrator will only affect the current context. If you want to make changes across all the contexts, you can do them in the Server Administrator.
