Preferences Dialog

Use the preferences dialog to modify your preferences for the WebLogic Workshop visual development environment. Many of the values that are set in the Preferences Dialog are stored in the Workshop.properties Configuration File.

# Display Tab

The Display tab allows you to modify display settings for WebLogic Workshop, such as font face and size and sorting paradigms for the visual development environment.

# Editor Tab

The Editor tab allows you to modify settings for the code editor, including spacing, indentation, and code completion options.

# Colors Tab

The Colors tab shows the text and background colors for various elements in the visual development environment.

# Paths Tab

The Paths tab provides information about the location of the WebLogic Server installation and domain against which you are developing your web service. By default, WebLogic Workshop is configured for development against the WebLogic development server that is integrated with WebLogic Workshop.

If you want to develop your web service against a remote WebLogic Server installation, you can modify the WebLogic development server options, as described below:

- Name: Change the Name option to the name of the remote WebLogic Server. By default Name is set to localhost, which refers to the integrated development server.

- Port: Change the Port option to the port specified for the remote WebLogic Server. By default Port is set to 7001.

- Config directory: The Config directory option refers to the directory containing domains for WebLogic Server. Change the path specified in this directory if you are developing against a remote WebLogic Server installation, so that it points to the domain-containing directory for the remote server. The directory on the remote server must be mounted or mapped to a local directory or drive letter. By default the Config directory option is set to the path where the integrated development server is installed, for example, C:\bea\weblogic700\samples.

- Domain: Change the Domain option if you have configured a domain other than the default for WebLogic Workshop develoment, or if you are developing against a remote server. By default the Domain option is set to Workshop, which is the default domain for WebLogic Workshop development.

- Note that the domains listed in the Domain option correspond to the directories beneath the directory specified in the Config directory option.

- When you choose File-->Open Project, the list of available projects is determined by the combined settings of the Config directory and Domain options. This list corresponds to the folders beneath the applications directory in the specified domain.
