GETTING STARTED WITH QUARKXPRESS SERVER 2018 | 9
Deploying QuarkXPress Server
Manager
There are three ways to deploy QuarkXPress Server Manager:
As a standalone server. To deploy QuarkXPress Server Manager in this manner, •
install the software as described in “Installing QuarkXPress Server Manager,” then
double-click the server/QXPSMServerStart.command (Mac OS X) or
server/QXPSMServerStart.bat (Windows) file in the QuarkXPress Server
Manager application folder.
As an independent Web application in an existing Tomcat Web container. For •
more information, see “Deploying QXPSM in external Tomcat.”
As a Web application that shares the same Spring context. For more information, •
see “Deploying QXPSM in a shared Spring context.”
Installing QuarkXPress Server Manager
QuarkXPress® Server Manager coordinates rendering requests in a multiple
QuarkXPress Server instance environment, using load-balancing, fail-safe, and
caching capabilities to determine which server in the pool can best process each
document request. If the first QuarkXPress Server instance in an array is unable to
process a render request, QuarkXPress Server Manager sends the request to another
instance. QuarkXPress Server Manager also provides an object-oriented
programming environment for working with QuarkXPress Server, and it exposes a
set of Web services and Web objects that can be used in any SOAP-compatible
environments such as .NET, JavaScript™, Java™, and Objective-C.
The QuarkXPress Server Manager installation includes three primary components:
QuarkXPress Server Manager Server (the server application that provides services •
for load-balancing, fault-tolerance, and the SOAP server that allows third-party
communication with QuarkXPress Server instances through Web services).
The QuarkXPress Server Manager Web-based administrative client. •
The QuarkXPress Server SDK, which includes Web services API documentation; •
Web service stubs and samples for .NET, Java, and Objective-C; and an
Extensibility Tool for generating custom stubs. This component is helpful for
developing client-side solutions using the QuarkXPress Server Manager Web
services and servlet interface.
