Web Component Properties

The Web Components button is typically selected by default. Web Component properties specify how Developer Workbench accesses the web server. The web server must be identified before any other components. The following image shows the Web Component area of the Web Query Environment Properties dialog box.

The following properties are available:

Host Name/IP Address. Specifies the host name or IP address where your web server is running. This field is required and has no default value.
Protocol. The protocol to use for accessing the web server (HTTP or HTTPS).
Port. The TCP/IP port for accessing the web server. Port 12331 is the default.
HTML Alias. Identifies the alias used to access content from the Web Query environment directory, ibi_html. In Developer Workbench, there is no need to configure an ibi_html alias. The ibi_html content is accessed through the webquery alias. The configuration of this alias is:
```
/webquery/ibi_html
```
where:
webquery
Is customizable.
ibi_html
Is constant.
Client Path. Specifies how calls are made from Developer Workbench to the web server. By default, when you add a new Web Query environment, it is set to use the Web Query Servlet with the default webquery context path:
```
/webquery/WFServlet
```
where:
webquery
Is customizable.
WFServlet
Is constant.
If the Web Query environment uses a non-default context path, clear the Use Default check box and provide the correct Client Path. For example:
```
/webquery/WFServlet
```
If the Client Path is incorrect for the environment, you receive an error when you click the Web Query button at the top of the page, or when you click OK to exit and save your changes.
If you do not know your path, ask your Web Query Administrator or check the Web Query Administration Console of the environment to which you want to connect. The Client Path settings for the environment are located under Utilities and Client Selection.
Use Default. Specifies that the default ibi_html alias is used. Keep this option selected unless you change the HTML Alias value.

Note:
- If the Client Path field is empty, and the Use Default check box is selected, there is a problem connecting to the Web Query Client. Ensure your web server is started and that you typed the correct properties on the Web Components page. If you cannot connect, contact your Web Query Administrator.
- If while providing a custom HTML Alias and Client Path, your connection fails because of incorrect information and the Client Path is deleted, you can clear Use Default to restore the values you entered. Click the Use Default check box to edit the HTML Alias and Client Path, and type the correct information. If a custom webquery alias or context path is used, it needs to be entered in both the HTML Alias and Client Path fields. For example:
  HTML Alias:
```
/webquery/ibi_html
```
  Client Path:
```
/webquery/WFServlet
```
Connection Timeout. The default time to connect to a Web Query environment is 60 seconds. However, in some slow systems this needs to be increased to avoid connection failures when the timeout period is reached. If timeout issues are experienced, please increase this to 240 or higher. Also, increasing the timeout can address issues with slow environments or environments that have many resources (Applications/files) during development.
Web Component Authentication. Specifies whether authentication is required on the web server. To set security, select Basic in the drop-down list, and type a web server user ID and password. If this is set to None, the web server allows anonymous access.
