About Application Root Directories
The components of an application reference root directories. By referencing root directories, these components can be moved around without having to rewrite application code.
The Java Server and C++ Server processes use the root directories to find the application component when that component is needed. For example, after a result-set is returned from the database, the application most likely uses a template to format that data. The process, whether Java Server or C++ Server, scans the Template root directory or directories to find the specified template file referenced by the AppLogic object or query file.
The Netscape Application Server uses default directories for the application components of the sample applications. These default root directories are also used when deploying applications from the Netscape Application Builder or another Netscape Application Server. You can specify to use alternate root directories when deploying. For more information about deploying applications, see "Partitioning an Application."
For information about specifying application root directories, see "Specifying Application Root Directories."
