dynamic web project [message #225709] Thu, 25 December 2008 18:09 Go to next message

Hi!

This is my first web project.
When creating a dynamic web project there is no /classes subfolder under
/web-inf folder. My .Java source files are under /src. After compiling
them .classes files get placed into build/classes folder. And this is the
problem, because the system is looking for them in /web-inf/classes folder
that does not exist.
Is there some type of Eclipse configuration I can change to make it work
properly?
I'll really appreciate your help.

Here is short explanation of default buildpath configuration and the way
to reconfigure java builder to use WEB-INF/classes as output folder:
http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.webtools/msg11 532.html

Hope that helps!

Vadim, thank you so much for your reply.

I've tried to follow the conversation, but not quite sure what's going on.
I don't have much experience with Eclipse but need to learn and use it as
soon as possible.
Would you please give me a step by step instruction on how to reconfigure
Eclipse.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Anna,

could you explain your use case? Why does the default output directory not work?
As it is your first web project, the defaults should be fine ;-).

Best regards

Wolfgang

Anna,

I'm no expert, but when you run with a Tomcat server within Eclipse
(setting up a server with the project), the deployment works just fine.
However, on my projects, we do force the class files to the
WEB-INF/classes subdirectory. This is to correct formal deployment later on.

We still use Europa, so be warned about what I'm saying here.

We have to create the classes subdirectory. Then, right-click on WEB-INF
in your project, choose New->Folder, type in "classes" as the name, then
click Advanced and Link to Folder in the file system, navigate to the
classes folder you created and click OK.

Just curious about the big picture of WTP and Eclipse ... why stay on
Europa? I assume it's some other tools or add-ins that are only on Europa?

I am the sort of person to move to and keep up with the latest thing.
However, my work colleagues are still on Europa (I started my present
employment on 1 August this year only) and I had some trouble getting
our stuff going on Ganymede (although, I think it was more a problem of
openSuSE 11 64-bit and the JRE than Eclipse). So I'm running openSuSE
10.3 32-bit and Europa. My colleagues are all Windoz users.

Anyway, I'm also the sort of person to spend more time in productive
work than hacking and experimenting, so Europa suits me because it
works great.

In another month, we're moving some of our code from Java 1.4 to 1.5/6.
Perhaps this will be the moment to attempt the leap again.

Best to all and to all a happy, productive and EMPLOYED new year!

Wolfgang thanks!

I've changed the source folder under project property, and it works now.

Thanks again,
Anna
