Hi,

A couple of questions after a little info:

We have an existing project with EJB/Web (Struts) capabilities. The EJB portions are in separate packages as are the Web portions.

The project was not created with MyEclipse (regular Eclipse).

We’re using WebLogic 9 and are able to start it from within MyEclipse after configuring it.

We’ve been using an ant script to build the ear file up to this point (before trying to use MyEclipse).

Questions:

1. How do you go about getting MyEclipse to properly import a complicated project so that we can use the “exploded deploy” and other useful features like the Struts designer.

It seems that selecting an Enterprise Application doesn’t give you the flexibility to select either all the EJB portions or the Web portions.

Since we want to be able to debug locally….

2. Do we really need to build an ear file, deploy it, then debug from within MYEclipse? I was hoping we could do the traditional “Exploded Archive” for rapid development.

I would appreciate any and all comments as to what our options are with WebLogic 9 and MyEclipse deployments/debugging/importing.

Thanks.

Mork,
In order to use MyEclipse projects, you would need to model the EJB and Web portions of the app in separate Web, EJB and Java projects then add them all as modules to your EAR project and deploy it. There is no automated way to do this.

Also you would be able to use exploded in this case.

That makes sense.

Thanks much.
