Step 4 - Point it at a Plutext Server
Configuration points
By default, the distribution is configured to point at http://server-test.plutext.org/
It should just work.
If you want to point it at a different server, there are 2 places where you need to configure it:
- (at build time) the Web Reference in Visual Studio
- (at run time) in the Word add-in
configuring the web reference
In Visual Studio's Solution Explorer, expand Web References within the plutext.client.word2007 project.
Right click on the WebReference?, and select properties.
Change the Web Reference URL to point to your preferred Plutext server.
Your URL will be similar to:
http://server-test.plutext.org:8080/plutext-server/wsdl/WebService.wsdl
configuring the Word add-in
See EndUserSettings
http://server-test.plutext.org/
plutext-client-word2007 is configured by default to point at http://server-test.plutext.org/
As the name suggests, this is Plutext's test server, which is available for the convenience of developers working on a plutext client. Once you are satisfied you have the client up and running, we strongly recommend you build your own server as well. Three reasons:
- When working with the client, it is useful to see what is happening on the server. For this, you really want to be able to see the server log files.
- Any documents you save on server-test.plutext.org might be deleted at any time. And they are all public - anyone can see them.
- If you are making your own changes to the web service, then of course you will need a server development environment.
