Adding Tomcat runtime configuration via plugin [message #181303]

Hi,
We need our plugin to be more closely integrated with WTP. Can anyone tell
me what would be the best way of adding a tomcat runtime configuration
programmatically from with in the plugin? We want to eliminate the steps of
configuring Tomcat for our end users via the current wizard. Our plugin
knows of the tomcat location already, and it would be very 'user friendly'
for our plugin to pre-configure a New Server Runtime for Tomcat 5.5.

I'm currently looking at the TomcatRuntimeComposite class for inspiration,
but I can not find APIs how to: 1) Create a new IRuntime & 2) Add this new
IRuntime back to eclipse (SeverCore?).

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

You need to create a RuntimeWorkingCopy. Take a look at ResourceManager,
inside of wst.server

The API that you need is in org.eclipse.wst.server.core. You first need
to retrieve the IRuntimeType object that corresponds to the tomcat
runtime of the appropriate version. You can do that using the ServerCore
class. Once you have the IRuntimeType object, it has a factory method
for creating an IRuntimeWorkingCopy. You create the working copy, fill
it out and use the save method to persist your changes. That adds the
runtime to the workspace. Also, make sure to call validate prior to
calling save to make sure that you are not saving a mis-configured runtime.

Konstantin, thank you very much! Your comments were very detailed and I was
able to implement this in 15 minutes.

If I can ask a follow up question. Once a IRuntimeWorkingCopy is defined
and saved, what are the APIs to locate it? I do not want to add the server
if it is already there.

Thanks

Try ServerCore.getRuntimes(). You would need to iterate over the
runtimes, check their types, and then look at the location. Or you can
use ServerCore.findRuntime( String name ) if you only care whether a
runtime with a certain name is defined.
