Hi,

After installing the latest Eclipse Java EE IDE for Web Developers web project files are no longer published to the tomcat server when the project include jars in the J2EE module dependencies. The current setup was working fine with at least 2 versions of eclipse and various configurations and operating systems.

In detail:

Having a standalone project and linked to a user library works as it used to and as expected. However if I add one .jar dependency to the project (from another project in the workspace) it fails immediately with the following error: Could not publish to the server.

(Stack trace at the end of the message)

The web project I am working is part of a workspace with a few other projects. Including the projects as J2EE module dependencies works. But the moment I add any of jars from the projects I depend on, I get the could not publish error.

I tried to work around this by combining all the workspace jars my project depends on a user library and then add this library to the J2EE module dependencies. This is solving the error but the result is that none of the files from WebContent directory are published. The .metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.wst.server.core/tmp0/wtpwebap ps/myproject/ directory contains only the WEB-INF with the classes and the lib folder with the jars. If i publish manually (just copy all the files from my project the wtpwebapps) everything works well, but then auto publish does not work any more for .jsp or plain files (only works for editing java source files).

Still, if my project does not depend on other local projects, everything works fine.

The stack trace is:

Thanks for the stack trace. It shows you are running with the WTP
3.1.2patch that addresses Bug 305306[1] and are suffering from the
regression mentioned in that bug. I assume you picked it up through
Help -> Check for Updates. You can re-install Eclipse Java EE IDE
tar.gz. I believe the problem WTP 3.1.2patch has been removed, so you
could try Check for Updates again and not suffer the same fate, though I
just tried it and no updates were found.

Cheers,
Larry

Hi Larry,

You are right, I have the patch for bug 305306 and I think I picked it manually by installing everything related to WTP and not by checking for updates.

While I am using extensively WTP, I know little about the internals and I couldn't follow the bug discussion. I have temporarily "solved" the problem. It is most likely that you already know what I found out, but I am writing them just in case.

I initially worked around the publishing problem by enabling "Serve modules without publishing" on the server. Then I got a useful error message by double clicking on the deployment descriptor of the web project: It could not find the /WEB-INF/web.xml file to open.

A quick look at the .settings/org.eclipse.wst.common.component revealed that the cause of the problem was a missing line:
        <wb-resource deploy-path="/" source-path="/WebContent"/>

After adding this line and restarting eclipse, everything was working as it should.

Thank you for the reply.

cheers

YIannis
