What does the virtualization server do?
The virtualization server’s job is to allow data within certain portions of the AVM repository to be interpreted as a set of virtual websites, and to allow these websites to be browsed by end users (and QA tools) prior to deployment (or submission to a “common staging area”). These websites may include virtualized servlets and JSPs, but completely static websites can be virtualized too (.html, .gif, .png, etc).
