I tried to set up a linked directory as the location for my built classes. Once done, I deployed I built the project and then deployed it to my application server. The classes were not copied from the linked build directory to the /classes directory on the application server. In my mind, this should happen no matter where I tell Eclipse to put my classes. Am I wrong in my thinking?
I need to do this because I am working in ClearCase and if I build to the WEB-INF/classes directory, I am building across a network NFS drive and the build process is significantly slower than building locally. Additionally, I do not want those binaries even considered in ClearCase.
Is there a way to configure around this? If not, can we get this set as a future enhancement?
I’ll look into this more closely. Does your Eclipse log contain any error messages related to deployment and linked resources?
The planned 2.8/3.8 release will support linked resources throughout a project structure. The following link is an enhancement discussion thread.
https://www.genuitec.com/forums/topic/linked-webroot-enhancement/&highlight=linkI didn’t see any errors that look related.
Does MyEclipse just copy the WebContent directory to the deploy directory and not look anywhere else?
Yes it does, linked resources are not supported just yet but is a very popular request that, as Michael pointed out, will be addressed in the 2.8 release.
Is there a way to work around that limitation? If not, can we log it as an enhancement request?
I’d like to see the contents of the “build” directory copied into the <web root>/WEB-INF/classes on deployment. That way, it doesn’t matter where you build to.
