Hello,
I have attempted to set up a web application on Eclipse 3.4.1 using Tomcat
5.5.25
and JDK 1.5.03. The problem is that it does not appear that my web project
is being correctly deployed. When I look in the deployment directory, I
only see the Java class files and none of the jsps or config files. As you
would imagine after starting the server I get a 404 error when I go to the
URL where I expect to see the app.
First I create a dynamic web project at compiler compliance level 1.5 and
using the JDK I've mentioned above.
To create the app I move my source code from source code control, so that
I have the following directory structure:
C:\Projects\RentPayment\architecture
C:\Projects\RentPayment\rentpayment_src
C:\Projects\RentPayment\uiarc
C:\Projects\RentPayment\rentpayment_web
I then add the first 3 directories above as source directories and set the
default output folder to: RentPayment/rentpayment_web/WEB-INF/classes
The context root is set to "RentPayment" (no quotes).
I add my required libs into the
C:\Projects\RentPayment\rentpayment_web\WEB-INF\lib directory.
I refresh and build the project.
Then I add a server, selecting the version of Tomcat that I've installed
and add a module that points to the project I've just set up.
I set the server path to RentPayment\tomcat and the deploy path to
C:\Projects\RentPayment\tomcat\webapps
The web module docBase is set to "/RentPayment" (no quotes)
So with all of this set up, why isn't my web app being deployed into
C:\Projects\RentPayment\tomcat
Regards,
Tim

I tried your settings and they worked for me. Did you refresh the
"tomcat" folder in your workspace. You may not see changes until you
do. Setting the Deploy directory to the server's "webapps" directory is
not recommended. If a project has a Context Root set differently from
the Module (i.e. Project) name, then you will get two copies of the
webapp served. For info about the WTP Tomcat support see the Tomcat
FAQ[1].
Note that with the Tomcat support, there is no advantage to directing
the Java build output into "webcontent"/WEB-INF/classes and has the
disadvantage of making the classes appear as source in the "webcontent"
portion of your project. You can leave the default output directory
pointing to "build/classes" and publishing will put the classes in the
right location when creating the copy of the webapp that actually gets
served.
Cheers,
Larry
