Hello,
1) Instead of making symbolic links to your svn project(s), you should
create an SVN checked-out directory in your tomcat project.
I am using CVS, so I can not help you on this, but I am sure that an
SVN plugin exists for Eclipse.
Basically, here is how it works with CVS:
- Let's say you need to use a 'MyServlet' with your web application,
and that servlet is on a CVS repository.
- On eclipse, you did create a tomcat project called 'watchee'
>From your 'watchee' project (on Eclipse), you just import a 'Checkout
CVS project' that will be linked to your 'MyServlet' CVS repository.
This way, you can modify 'MyServlet' and commit changes to the
repository. It avoid using links and let you have all the sources
inside your tomcat project.
2) I guess you are using qooxdoo0.7.x and downloaded the sdk ('Source
development kit').
Copy the qooxdoo directory to your tomcat project.
- Here, I suppose that your qooxdoo application is called 'QxWatchee'.
So, from your tomcat project, your application is here:
+ qooxdoo-0.7.x-sdk/fronted/application/QxWatchee
If you want your javascript application being on your SVN project, you
need to create the 'QxWatchee' repository and replace the 'QxWatchee'
directory of 'qooxdoo-0.7.x-sdk/fronted/application' by an imported
SVN checkout project.
3) Using 'QxWatchee' with tomcat
You can create a simple 'index.jsp' in your eclipse tomcat project (at root).
This is the file that will be accessed with a:
http://localhost:8080/watchee/index.jsp from your browser.
In this example, your tomcat project now looks like:
+ MyServlet (SVN Checkout project)
+ qooxdoo-0.7.x-sdk
+ WEB-INF
- index.jsp
In index.jsp, put a link to the SOURCE script of your QxWatchee
javascript application:
<a
href="qooxdoo-0.7.x-sdk/frontend/application/QxWatchee/source/index.html">Watchee</a>
Build the source version of your javascript application:
- Open a terminal and do:
cd ECLIPSE_WORKSPACE/watchee/qooxdoo-0.7.x-sdk/frontend/application
make source
Once it is builded, go to 'http://localhost:8080/watchee/index.jsp'
and click your link.
This should load your web application.
NOTE: you need to re-compiled (ie doing a make source) your qooxdoo
application everytime you add a new class: you dont need to re-compile
when you are doing changes on your existing javascript classes => it
means that by reloading the page you get when clicking the link on
index.jsp, all the changes done on javascript will be immediately
available !
4) When you want to deploy your application to the 'real' server
Build the BUILD version of your javascript application:
- Open a terminal and do:
cd ECLIPSE_WORKSPACE/watchee/qooxdoo-0.7.x-sdk/frontend/application
make build
Create your war file, including:
- Your servlet(s)
- The 'build' directory of your javascript application:
copy ECLIPSE_WORKSPACE/watchee/qooxdoo-0.7.x-sdk/frontend/application/build
to build
- Change the index.jsp:
<a href="build/QxWatchee/index.html">Watchee</a>
Note: to create the war file, and to automate the deployment process
to your 'real' tomcat server (by 'real', I mean the server that will
be used for production), you should use a ant file.
