An Overview of the Habanero Server

The NCSA Habanero server is a process that runs in the background and does not have a GUI. Its function is to link Habanero clients during a collaborative session. Only one server is required for a collaborative session and all participating clients connect to that single server. Sessions are defined and distinguished by their session name, machine name or IP number and the listening port number. This information is defined by the first client that creates a session.

The server is typically started from a script or a command line.

Command line Parameters

The server supports additional configuration options through command line parameters or switch statements. You can us any number of the switches in any order. The switches include:

-listen <port_number>
The -listen argument allows you to define which socket the server will use to listen for data. If the switch is not used the server will use the default port 2000.
```
   java Habaneroserver -listen 2112 
```
-dbrecord
The database record option instructs the server to save all state data to a local file. This file, habanero.db, is written to the directory where the Habanero classes reside.
```
   java HabaneroServer -dbrecord 
```

-debug

   java HabaneroServer -debug
