Server properties

Server properties panel allows you to deploy WebCharts3D run-time files to a web server and to edit server's configuration file. You do not have to use this panel if you deployed the required files manually as it is described in Server Setup section.

Application home
Specifies application home. The definition of the application home might vary from one server to another, but generally this is the root folder of your web application (application context path).
Jar and configuration file location
Specifies Jar and configuration file (webcharts3D.xml) location. This location depends upon your web server and the way you configured (want to configure) webcharts. Usually, placing jar and configuration file into /WEB-INF/lib subfolder of your application home is sufficient. If you prefer to add wcruntime.jar to the classpath, then you can specify the path to wcruntime.jar here. The main benefit of specifying this location is the ability to create/edit webcharts configuration file (webcharts3D.xml) in this pane. The configuration file contains server license key and some other attributes that you might need to modify.
Taglib location
Specifies taglib location. You need to have taglib installed if you want to use server tags. Different servers might differ in the ways the taglib should be specified, but usually placing it into WEB-INF folder of your application directory should be sufficient.
Image retrieval page URL
Specifies name and location of a special JSP page that returns cached images based on the images' unique ID. This URL is used by Code Pane to create html tags that are embedded into pages. You can specify any URL here. If you click Deploy button then if this URL is absolute, then the getImage.jsp is saved relative to the application root. Otherwise, it is saved relative to the folder into which you saved last code snippet from Code View.

NOTE In some cases when your server is running on a different computer and you do not have access to this computer filesystem you will not be able to use this pane.
