I am using Eclipse to develop web applications in Java. I use the Tomcat
plugin for Eclipse. The problem that I have is that my application
dynamically creates a PDF file in a particular folder. When this happens
the web application then redirects the user to that file. When I run this
in a browser I get a 404 error. So I checked the file system and the file
is in fact there. So in Eclipse I refreshed the folder it is supposed to
be in and it shows up. When I then go into the browser again, the file is
now there.
This is very frustrating when I am debugging the code used to generate the
PDF as I have to hit the URL, then go to Eclipse and refresh the folder
then go back and reload the URL.
Is there any way that I can fix this so that I do not have to refresh the
folder every time a PDF is generated?
Thanks.
Mark

Mark,
Maybe Window->Preferences->General->Workspace and enabling "Refresh
automatically" will help. It think this might only work if the Eclipse
window losses and gains focus though...

Actually I fixed it. Instead of creating the file in the directory that
gets published through the IDE, I found the location that Eclipse uses to
run Tomcat and wrote the file there.
For those who may have difficulty finding the directory where Tomcat is
running, here it is:
workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core\tmp 0\webapps
