New to Eclipse, WTP [message #142244]

Hello,

I started to use Eclipse recently to work on some SOAP
service programs. Before this, I was using ANT + the command
line. I would appreciate some pointers on how to
do some tasks that I used to do via ANT:

1) Creating a JUNIT test suite to test a Web Service.
I used to have some tests derived by hand from the WSDL2JAVA
test programs, not sure if there is any Eclipse equivalent
to this.

Should I use CACTUS or is it not stable yet?

2) What should I do to deploy a Web Service to a remote
Tomcat server? Back in the command line I was using

- ANT Tomcat "deploy" task
- ANT "axis-admin" task

Is there any equivalent in WSP?

3) I assume WSP is using AXIS v1.2?

Should I migrate to AXIS2?

Thanks in advance for any pointers on these issues.
If this is not the best forum for these questions,
please let me know which forum I should be using.

Regards,

Hernan

Okay lets get you up to speed..

-Deploy, start, stop Tomcat using your project

New->Other->Servers->Servers

This will set up a Servers project with a Severs console view(Window->show view->other-.Servers)

Than go into Windwow->Preferences->Servers->Installed Runtimes and add your tomcat local isntallation..

Once you do that go back inot Servers Console view and add tomcat and associate your project with tomcat..

When you do thti sit will test to see if Eclipse can start tomcat.. note some tomcat versions require you set up a log4.properties file..tomcat5.5 requires it so do that so you can get the console feedback..

Cactus?

I think IBM DW has an article on Cactus and Eclipse integration..

Thanks a lot for the information. Actually, I was already deploying to a
Tomcat server on the local machine (the Top-Down WSDL tutorial includes
that). I would like to deploy to a remote server if possible. Before I
started with Eclipse, I was deploying via ANT from the command line using
an ANT task which connects to the remote Tomcat server's management
interface.

I'll look into the Cactus pointers you sent.

Thanks a lot!
