This web form provides a way to create a new FTA system. One has to specify a unique name for the system and the init actor (specified by its java package path, e.g. jfta.demo.hello.HelloInit) to start the system. All participating classes must exist in the CLASSPATH which is displayed on the top-level page.
As a simplification, the form stores the recently used init actors in the file jfta.hosts (see 2.4.5) and provides them in a choice box.
Up to 5 optional arguments to the init actor can be specified as well. They will be passed to the jfta.actors.FTAActor.init method.
After creation of a new FTA system, the browser will switch to the ``Server Log'' page of the FTADaemon. If the system was successfully created, a link will appear on this page to reach the ``FTA System'' page for this system (see 3.3), or an error message will be displayed. It might be necessary to push the reload button of the browser multiple times before the link appears, this happens for complex FTA systems that need some time to come up. This is not a bug.
