Issues with java and web source directories for web module config [message #115221]

I just installed Eclipse 3.1 and Web Tools M5. I have an existing Tomcat
web module with the following directory structure.

Current : Root directory
Current/src/java : Java source directory
Current/src/web : Web source directory
Current/src/web/WEB-INF/classes : Java compile target directory
Current/src/web/WEB-INF/lib : lib directory

How do I set up a dynamic web application for Tomcat 5.0 using webtools in
Eclipse to use the above directory structure?

When I try to create a dynamic web application using the wizard, it
creates JavaSource and WebSource directories. And it does not point to the
directory structure above. Is there any way to change the JavaSource
directory and the WebSource directory to point to the correct ones I need ?

Any help would be highly appreciated!!!!

Hi Manoj,

Have you found the solution to your problem.
If yes, please share it with the rest of us.
I think it you have to make changes in .wtpmodues, .classpath and .project
files(I didnt got much time to explore)

Thanks,
Vivek

Someone should probably just open a bug for this issue, there does not
appear to be a good solution beyond hacking the config files.

I've got a quite similar problem. I'm testing Eclipse 3.1 with WTP on
Linux and Windows XP. I've installed exactly the same features + plugins.

On Windows it is working without problems (so far). But if I want to
create a new servlet on Linux it demands an absolute path:

"Source folder path must be absolute."

Could this and those other "Issues" be a platform dependent problem?
Maybe the Linux binaries are mixed up with Windows binaries.

I tried modifying the config file. It did not resolve the issue. I started
getting some other issues with Java build path. There should be a UI
support to change the web and java source directories for web apps. Or the
new web app wizard should allow for customization of these directories.

Agreed 100%. I opened a new bug for this type of thing with a detailed
description - go vote for it so it gets into WTP soon:

Hello,

changing the java src directory to
java/src
works for me, by
removing the WTP generated JavaSource directory from the build path
(project-properties-build path)
adding the java/src directory
be careful to set the output dir to .deployables/../WEB-INF/classes
additionally change
.wtpmodules
set <wb-resources source-path> to /src/java
I had to do this - otherwise the Servlet creation wizard would not work

I have not tried to change the WebContent dir though...

HTH,

michael

Hi,

I also solved the problem in the same way by changing the config files and
adding the Lib files.

Also hope that this bug is removed by the time next Milestone is released,
but working with even this WTP is much better than working without it..

Voted for this bug ;)

Cheers..

How did you add the lib files? Do you mean external libraries being
included in the webapp? I mean, I'm using maven so being able to point
the web app libraries at the local maven repo would be awesome.
