Hi Stephen,
I followed your instructions on how to configure visual cafe 4 to run the
jrun engine, however visual cafe can't load the main class
com.livesoftware.jrun.service.ServiceManager. Do you have an idea of what
could be wrong??
Thanks in advance,
Claire Ryan

>(e.g.,

> ...\JRun\jsm-default\services\jse\properties\jsp.properties
> ...\JRun\jsm-default\services\jseweb\properties\jsp.properties
>
>The original value for the "compiler" property will probably start with
>"..\\bin\\jikesw.exe". That needs to be changed to something like
>"E:\\JRun\\bin\\jikesw.exe".
>
>This step is necessary because the JRun engine expects to be started up
>with
>the current directory set to ...\JRun\jsm-default. However, Visual Cafe
>runs programs with the current directory set to wherever your Visual Cafe
>project file is located. I haven't found a way to tell Visual Cafe how to
>run programs in a different directory.

>4. Configure your project in Visual Cafe to run the appropriate JRun class
>when debugging. This is done by setting your project options in Visual
>Cafe
>as follows:
>
>- Select "Project->Options"
>- Select the "Project" tab.
>- Set the Project Type to Application
>- Set the Main Class to com.livesoftware.jrun.service.ServiceManager
>- Set the Program Arguments to E:\JRun\jsm-default (assuming that JRun is
>installed in "E:\").
>
>That's it. Now, when you select "Project->Run in Debugger" in Visual Cafe,
>it will start up the JRun engine. You can set breakpoints in your servlets
>and any other Java classes just like a non-servlet Java application.
