I am trying to setup our existing application development to uset Eclipse
WTP. We have been using MyEclipse. We are using Eclipse 3.1.2 with Web
Standard Tools 1.0.3. I realize there are newer versions, but this is
because another plugin dependency with Jasper Assistant. We are running on
Windows XP. I have pointed my WTP server at the same Tomcat I used with
MyEclipse and it seems to only want to start Tomcat and not the app we had
deployed there. We use an xml file in the
TOMCAT_HOME\conf\Catalina\localhost directory that points to where Eclipse
keeps the files so we didn't have to deploy and undeploy. Is there a way I
can have my WTP server just start all the apps in Tomcat instead of just
looking for those it is deploying?
If not how do I setup this existing application in WTP? I went through the
tutorial and it talks about new applications.
Thanks,
Tom

The default behavior for Tomcat servers is to create separate server
instances. In terms of your Tomcat installation, this means
CATALINA_HOME (where jars live) != CATALINA_BASE (where conf lives).
Double-click on the Tomcat server in the Servers view and click on "Open
launch configuration" in the Server configuration editor that appears.
Switch to the Arguments tab in the launch configuration dialog that
opens and note the location of the catalina.base system property in the
VM Arguments field. This implies that by default, the standard webapps
and others you may have deployed there are not present by default.
If you uncheck the "Run modules directly from the workspace" option in
the Overview section of the Server configuration editor, catalina.base
will be set to your Tomcat installation along with catalina.home. This
means that starting Tomcat from within Eclipse will serve the standard
webapps and your others. However, in this configuration, the files for
the Tomcat server under the Servers project in your workspace will
overwrite those in your Tomcat installation every time you start Tomcat
within Eclipse. Thus, you would need to "manage" your Tomcat server
from within Eclipse.
If you go with the option checked and you really want one or more of the
webapps in your installation, you can add them manually using the
Modules tab of the Server configuration editor.
Cheers,
Larry

I was reading this slightly old post because of issues I have. However,
in the last paragraph above you talk about the "Modules" tab of
the "Server Configuration Editor", and that doesn't quite parse for me.
There are several places where I can edit the server configuration, and
none of them seem to have a Modules tab. Can you be more specific
about which dialog box you are talking about, and how do you navigate
there.
TIA

Double-click on the Tomcat server in the Servers view or right-click on
it and select Open from the context menu. What opens is the Server
configuration editor. A the bottom of this editor should be Overview
and Modules tabs. That Modules tab is the one you want. You can also
add <Context> elements yourself by modifying the server.xml found in the
appropriate subfolder of the Servers project found in your workspace.
