I cannot seem to get Eclipse and Tomcat to work together.
System is Windows XP SP2
Installed latest Eclipse 3.2 and Tomcat 5.5.17
Tomcat works fine by itself, management pages and samples
come up fine.
I set up a servlet project in Eclipse, specifying Tomcat 5.5 as the
server environment and gave it the install directory for Tomcat.
The module configuration specifies Document Base "WebMonitor" and
path /WebMonitor
When I attempt to run the project from within Eclipse it complains that
the ports it wants are already in use, so I disabled the running
Tomcat service.
Then, the Tomcat instance starts from within Eclipse, but the base
URL path (http://localhost:8080/WebMonitor) gives 404 (a Tomcat
error page, not the default browser error page).
I went to the server configuration and, in the Modules tab, added
the \Tomcat 5.5\webapps\ROOT document base with a URL path of /
This also gives 404 (again, the Tomcat 404 page).
Curiously, if I change the URL to anything besides just '/', such
as '/abc', I can get the main page to come up with the same URL
i.e. http://localhost:8080/abc -- but then links to the examples
and Tomcat manager don't work.
Obviously, I'm missing something pretty basic but don't know where
to look. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi Jim,
Asking for a URL like "http://localhost:8080/WebMonitor" in the absence
of a welcome file (such as index.jsp or index.html) will try to display
a directory listing. For security reasons, directory listings are
disabled by default in Tomcat 5.5.x, so 404 is the expected response.
When adding the external ROOT webapp, specify the Path as an empty
string instead of "/". That should get it working as expected. Add the
other external webapps using the appropriate Path, if desired.
As you can tell, the Tomcat server inside of Eclipse is running with a
separate "catalina.base" (the equivalent of CATALINA_BASE in the batch
scripts). To see where this is, switch from the Modules tab to the
Overview tab and click "Open launch configuration". Switch to the
Arguments tab and note the setting for "catalina.base" in the VM
Arguments field. Also, if you want to run the Eclipse Tomcat server at
the same time as your Tomcat service, alter the port numbers on the
Overview tab to eliminate any conflicts.
Cheers,
Larry
