My company is switching to iPlanet web servers and I've been trying (as indicated by other posts) to put together a relatively inexpensive development environment including source control for JSP/Java web development.
I'm trying to decide how I should setup my development web server. The model I've seen used so far with CVS is to setup a local web server (Tomcat, JRun, etc.) and to use CVS to download source into the local directories, develop, and then check in the code when done. The model I'm used to working in (using Visual Interdev/ASP/Visual Source Safe) is one where you do development using FrontPage Server extensions against a remote server AND source store. So what I'm struggling with is how exactly CVS can and should be used in devising my environment here. Given what I've said earlier about my understanding of how you use CVS, especially for web development, is there any reason to believe I should be using it in a manner *similar* to how I'm used to working, with a single development web server and workstations working against that machine? I'm just making sure before I finally decide. It seems to me that the way CVS operates (non-locking) and given that we don't have something like FP Server Extensions to integrate source control with the development web server, making both accessible to the IDE, that it's best to work with separate light java web servers running locally and the CVS code being checked out into local directories. I hope that made sense. If it didn't I'll trying to clarify, but either way I'd appreciate some help so I can get my development environment nailed down.
