Getting referenced projects into the webapp classpath [message #106357]

Hi,

I installed WTP M4 by downloading the complete ZIP file including
Eclipse SDK 3.1M6.

So far everything works fine, I created a Flexible Project and a J2EE
Web Module inside. I wrote a very simple Servlet and experimented a
little bit with JSP's (-> the Editor is great!)

I want to convert my existing Web Projects into J2EE Web Modules but I
can't figure out how to work with references to other Projects inside a
Web Module.

All of my Web Applications depend on other simple Java Projects which
are included in the Build Path - how is it possible to get a Tomcat 5.5
instance to load the classes of the depending Projects when I publish my
web app on the server?

cheers

tOM

Tom,

For Tomcat to load the classes from the Java project for the Web
Application you need to add the Java projects as a referenced project to
the Web module project. The way you do this is by adding a referenced
component with the consumes reference type in the .wtpmodules file of
the flex project that contains the web component

<dependent-module deploy-path="/"
handle="module:/resource/FlexProject/UtilProject">
<dependency-type>consumes</dependency-type>
</dependent-module>

Look at the javadoc of IVirtualReference interface -
DEPENDENCY_TYPE_USES and DEPENDENCY_TYPE_CONSUMES statics to get more
details

Hope this helps
