Re: WAR files and Eclipse

[Dwayne Ghant]

I did as suggested but it didn't work . The ironic thing now is that scence
I tried that the user accounts "/home/<username>/public_html" no longer 
works to
compile jsp pages. I figure this is weird becasue I see the compilation 
.class files in
the $CATALINAHOME/work/Catalina/localhost/<~username>/<classname.class>, 
but
when I try to go to http://localhost/~<username>/index.jsp I just see a 
pure white page. No
matter how many time I reboot the server I get the same result????

Does anyone else want to take a shoot at this or am I to give up.

 I think there is another attribute to <Listener>
which is home.Base.  Set this where you normally put
user/public_html directory.  For example on mine, its
set as  homeBase="/home"  and user home is 
/home/sergio.   Once this is working, any war files on
your /home/user/public_html should get expanded.

Intresting question associated with this subject.
If I have "public_html " enabled for developers on
local machine ex:
          <Listener
     

className="org.apache.catalina.startup.UserConfig"
   

          directoryName="public_html"
         
     

userClass="org.apache.catalina.startup.PasswdUserDatabase"/>
 

Can I have  a setting for tomcat to unwar there
     

personal test 
   

applications in
there public_html directories????
I'm assuming it would look something like this
     

(listed below):
   

    <Host name="localhost" debug="0"
     

appBase="/home/*/public_html"
   

     unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
     xmlValidation="false"
     

xmlNamespaceAware="false">
   

      </Host>
I'm probably incorrect, but I do need to know, to
     

finish setting up 
   

JSP enviornment for
java developers like myself.

It's actually very easy to do what you want to
       

do.
   

Assuming you have correctly installed and
       

configured Sysdeo, you will 
   

need
to tell Eclipse where the War file for your
       

Tomcat project should be
   

generated. This is done on a *project* basis,
       

i.e. you have to repeat 
   

this
step once for each Tomcat project you create but
       

you will never have 
   

to do
this again for a given project unless you change
       

the location where 
   

you want
the War file.
1. Select the Tomcat project in the Package
       

Explorer perspective.
   

2. Right click for a context menu. Choose
       

'Properties'.
   

3. Within Properties, choose 'Tomcat' from the
       

tree on the left.
   

4. Click on the 'Export to WAR settings' tab
       

within the Tomcat 
   

properties.
5. Enter the path that tells Tomcat where to
       

generate your War file. The
   

path name should include the file name of the War
       

file. I normally 
   

put my
War files in a folder called 'war' directly
       

beneath the project so my 
   

"WAR
file for export" looks like this:
D:\eclipse\workspace\MyProject\war\MyProject.war.
       

Naturally, you are 
   

free to
organize your files differently.
6. Click on OK to close the Properties dialog.
Then, every time you want to regenerate your War
       

file, all you need 
   

to do is
this:
1. Select the Tomcat project in the Package
       

Explorer perspective.
   

2. Right-click for a context menu. Choose 'Tomcat
       

project'.
   

3. Choose 'Export to the war file sets in project
       

properties'.
   

4. You should get a brief message that tells you
       

the operation worked.
   

Now, if you don't find Tomcat in the Properties
       

tree or if you don't 
   

see the
'Tomcat project' option in the context menu, it
       

means you probably 
   

didn't
configure Sysdeo correctly. Don't worry, it's not
       

that hard to fix. 
   

Just let
us know and we'll try to help.

Subject: WAR files and Eclipse
Hello All,
I am new to WAR files and eclipse.  Many searches
       

on google bring me 
   

to the
sysdeo tomcat plugin, which I have installed.  I
       

want to know if 
   

there is
some standard way to generate a WAR file for
       

deployment.  I have 
   

found that
I can export a JAR file and change its name, but
       

in the process the
   

directory structure is altered.  Maybe you even
       

know about a better 
   

IDE than
eclipse for working with web-based projects. 
       

THANKS in advance.
   

Daniel
