Script Page Cache Size

The maximum size of the cache containing pages. A good starting value is 250.

Document Root

The path to the root folder of the web page documents. This is the root folder of that part of your web application where plain documents are held: i.e. simple web pages, images, PDFs, download files etc.

Enable Service Auditor

Whether the Service Auditor is enabled. The service auditor monitors the Active Web servlet and if it stops executing (an unexpected error perhaps) then the service auditor will restart the Active Web servlet.

Include Charset

Whether the character set should be included in the HTTP response header.

Max Page Runtime

The maximum time (in seconds) that a page will be allowed to execute. After this time the page will be aborted and an error message returned. This value should allow for pages to call your application to run application processes so 600 would be a good starting value.

Mainframe Task Timeout

The maximum time (in seconds) that a mainframe task will be allowed to execute. After this time the task will be aborted and an error message returned. A good starting value is 180.

Production Mode

Whether the Active Web server is in production mode. In production mode the Active Web servlet caches the script pages on the first execution and then always uses the cache. If not in production mode then the script pages are checked every time to see if they have been changed. This means that in production mode the script pages are protected from change and perform slightly better.

Script Encoding

The encoding used for your script pages. This is the encoding used for the page data returned to the users browser. Active Web supports the encodings available to Java and these may vary depending on the version of Java you are using. Refer to http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/intl/encoding.doc.html for details of the encoding available for version 1.4.2.

Use Browser Language

Whether the locale should come from the user's browser. If this is not set then the locale for the script pages will be the default locale for the machine that is running the Active Web servlet.

Default Documents

A collection of possible documents that will be returned if the user requests a folder and not a page.  You can add new documents by clicking on the '+' or delete a document by clicking on the '-' . When the user request is for a folder and not a page (generally the initial access to the web site) then one of these pages will be returned. The pages are checked in the order specified and the first one found will be returned.

JDBC Drivers

A collection of JDBC (Java Database Connectivity) drivers that may be used to access databases from your script pages using the Database object. You can add new drivers by clicking on the '+' or delete a driver by clicking on the '-' .

Script File Types

A collection of file extensions that are used to identify script files. The Active Web servlet will use these extensions to identify web pages that contain script that needs processing. Any files in the script are of the web site that do not contain one of these extensions will be delivered to the user without any script processing (i.e. as a normal web page).
