The LANSA Composer Server Setup wizard asks you to choose the web-site website in which you wish to define the virtual folders used with LANSA Composer's web features.

A virtual folder (in this context) is a means of instructing Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) to re-direct a component of the URL used for an incoming web request (the "virtual" folder) to a physical folder location, possibly outside the Microsoft IIS folder tree.
In particular, the LANSA Composer Server Setup defines two virtual folders:
- The Images folder identifies the location of web images used in LANSA Composer's Management Console Console web application. It is always called Images – you have no control over the virtual folder name. The virtual folder will be configured to re-direct image requests to the appropriate folder in the LANSA Composer Server installed location, for example, to:
C C:\Program Files\LANSA\LANSA Composer Server\WebServer\Images
- The JSM folder identifies the location of the LANSA Integrator JSM Direct support that is used to direct inbound HTTP requests through LANSA Composer. The LANSA Composer Server Setup permits you to choose the virtual folder name. If you create a new virtual folder, it will be mapped to the directory where the JSM Direct support is installed, for example, to:
C C:\Program Files\LANSA\LANSA Composer Server\Integrator\JSMCGI
In this step of the LANSA Composer Server Setup wizard, you can control the creation of the necessary virtual folders in two respects, as follows:
Website
Of the websites chosen in the previous step, this specifies which is to contain the Images and JSM virtual folders.
Usually, you will have chosen not more than one website in the previous step - its name will be shown and selected here and you need make no further change.
JSM Virtual Folder
This allows you to specify the name of a new virtual folder (default cgi-bin) or to choose an existing virtual folder that is used with the LANSA Integrator JSM Direct support.
