I run Eclipse 2.1.2 , and My Eclipse. I want to Debug my Application
with Tomcat 4.
I have a configuration File (xml) for Tomcat with several mappings ( tomcatHome/Conf/server.xml). I didn’t find where in the preferences -> myEclipse -> Tomcat 4 I can define this configuration file.
Because without such a definition the connection to the servlet is not possible, the following error is displayed: java.io.fileNotFoundException: http://localhost:8080/eReconciliation_server.

I need to do the same thing under Websphere 5.

thanks for your Help

MartineGeiller,
For Tomcat to make use of this conf file, all you need to do is make sure its in the correct Tomcat\conf directory. Our server connectors launch the application servers by performing almost exactly the same steps that the batch files or startup scripts do. So running Tomcat 4 from the command line, system service or from MyEclipse are all pretty much the same.

It finds the servlet now. The problem was the JdK Version. I tried it with 1.3.1_04 from sun (before I had a Jdk from IBM).

But I have a new Problem: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException

Where is the com.systor.erecon.cash.service.persistence.JDBCHomeCash class? Is it in a JAR? If it is, is the JAR in your apps WEB-INF/lib directory? If its part of the project, can you double check that it is infact in the WEB-INF/classes/com/systor/erecon/cash/service/persistence directory of your webapp?

Where is this class during development? Is it part of a JAR that is in your build path, or is it in your source tree that gets compiled to WEB-INF/classes while you are developing?

Are you building/deploying your project with MyEclipse or are you using an Ant script?

[MartineGeiller]

– JDBCHomeCash is in a jar: WEB-INF/classes/lib/eReconEnvCash.jar
– the Directory
WEB-INF/classes/com/systor/erecon/cash/service/persistence does not exists. we have directly /classes/com/systor/erecon/cash/service/persistence and it is there.

JDBCHomeCash is in HEAD\eReconEnvCash\classes\com\systor\erecon\cash\service\persistence during development.

We are building project using Ant Script

[Riyad Kalla]

MartineGeiller,
All of your JAR files must be in WEB-INF/lib, not WEB-INF/classes. WEB-INF/classes is meant for compiled class files in their uncompressed format, the /lib directory is intended for all supporting libs (utilities, framework jars, support libraries, etc.)

Just so you know this isn’t a MyEclipse thing, it’s part of the spec.

[MartineGeiller]

Hallo Riyad,
sorry for my error in the Text, all our Jars are in WEB-INF/lib

[Riyad Kalla]

sorry for my error in the Text, all our Jars are in WEB-INF/lib

Damn, I was hoping this would be an easy one 😉

When you deploy your app to Tomcat, do you see all the libs in their appropriate place? <Tomcat Home>\webapps\appName\WEB-INF\lib\<HERE>

If not, then I would double check your Ant script. When troubleshooting a ClassNotFoundException, I always try and walk backwards from the server to my dev environment and see where things get messed up along the way.

[MartineGeiller]

Yes I see all the libs in the Appropriate place:

characterConverter002e_9_0_1_4.jar
classes12_9_0_1_4.jar
eReconCore.jar
eReconEnvCash.jar
eReconEnvCommon.jar
eReconEnvSec.jar
etc…

in the ClassLoader of the Servlet I see for example classes out of classes12_9_0_1_4.jar but none from eReconEnvCash.jar

In the servlet the following instruction failes:

Class lClass = Class.forName(lEnvCashJDBCHomeName)
where the value of lEnvCashJDBCHomeName = com.systor.erecon.cash.service.persistence.JDBCHomeCash

[MartineGeiller]

I just want to complete that the Application normaly works. I just have these problemes if I try to debug in MyEclipse

[Riyad Kalla]

Do me a favor and try and add that eReconEnvCash.jar file to your classpath within MYEclipse and see if it helps. Go here: Window > Preferences > MyEclipse > App Servers > Tomcat (ver) > Paths, and click “Add JAR/ZIP” to the “Append to Classpath” section and add that JAR, then try and debug again.

[MartineGeiller]

I already tried this and it didn’t work.
But I resolved the problem:
I modified the docBase defining the servlet in the server.xml.
Before it pointed on the Development Directory. And now it points to the tomcat Application Directory and I Works.

Thank You for your rapid answers.

Now I have to try the same with Websphere.

<smacks self in forhead> I didn’t think to ask, I will from now on.

Now I have to try the same with Websphere.

Let us know if that works so others possibly with the same problems can learn from this thread.
