Relative Newbie - Full web project in webservice context? [message #162229]

Hi folks - I'm just now getting into using WTP to build webservices, and I
must admit I'm impressed with how easy it is to go from "here's my pojo" to
"here's a war file servicing that request that you can deploy". It's quite
a step up from hand-rolling WSDL files and dependencies.

But here's my next problem. I want my deployed WAR file to include an
entire set of HTML and JSP pages, as well as a couple servlets I'm writing
- for now I'd be happy with static HTML. The question is, in the context
of "how WTP manages a project" - where should I create the HTML pages so
that a) they're deploye dlocally into my Tomcat server for coding /
debugging, and b) will be rolled into my WAR file properly so they'll show
up in the deployed webapp?

I tried creating a 'foo.html' file in the 'generated' WEB-INF/ target, but
no luck there - I can't seem to find it in the deployed app.

I'd like to be able to use WTP as a soup to nuts web application build and
deploy system, and writing in servlets, jsps, and HTML alongside my
webservices is my next logical step.

Thanks!

You can put static content in the WebContent folder. For example if you
put a jsp in WebContent/jsps/

Then the URL would resolve to

http://localhost:8080/contextroot/jsps/foo.jsp

I tried this, but it's not working - i'm getting 404 errors. I should be
able to, within WTP + Tomcat, to create a file there, and it'll show up on
the local server via that URL - I can get to my webservices via:

http://localhost:8080/XMLServer/services/Services

And I created a foo.html in WebContent/foo.html, but this url 404's:

http://localhost:8080/XMLServer/foo.html

I did a War export from the project (created as a 'bottom up' webservice
bean, and the resulting war contents don't even have the HTML in it:

Which version of WTP & Tomcat are you using? I'll see if I can duplicate.

For additional information, I've managed to get it to deploy if I -manually-
place HTML files in the top-level of the build target (for some reason
that's called 'html' for me, which I believe I mistakenly entered when I
created the project).

There is a WebContent folder, but nothing in there ever gets built into the
app - I've added the ${Project}/html/[file.html] to my SVN now, and I can
check it in, out, etc - but checking in things that are part of a build
target seems wrong.

Here's the version information:
Eclipse SDK
Version: 3.1.1
Build id: M20050929-0840

Apache Tomcat v5.5.

Thanks...
