java build path for Tomcat inside Eclipse? [message #175534] Wed, 26 July 2006 21:17 Go to next message

I experienced building and running POJO applications with Eclipse, and
decent at web applications but not using Eclipse. Now I'm moving to
Eclipse's web development. It's a slick environment.

When I run my JSP/Servlet application from Eclipse, it throws a
NoClassDefFoundError. The class is definitely in the Java Build Path and
the code compiles. I think that Tomcat can't find the class. Where should
it reside? When I use Eclipse to run the server, how do I tell it to move
the class files? Finally, when I link another project, how do those files
move to the directory for Tomcat?

Do I need to put .jars in some directory before I hit server run?

Thanks

For dependencies that need to go in your web project's WEB-INF/lib, and
you don't want to physically add the jar to the WEB-INF/lib, add it to
the project using J2EE Module Dependencies in the project properties.
This will add the dependency to the build path as well as include it in
the WEB-INF/lib when the web application is copied to the server. In
the case of adding another project as a dependency, that project's
classes will be placed in a jar with the same name of the project and
included in WEB-INF/lib.

If the dependency is also specified in the Java Build Path, remove it.
It will confuse the J2EE Module Dependencies page if also on the build
path (see bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=151732).

Cheers,
Larry
