I am evaluating MyEclipse in order to be able to debug J2EE applications running on an application server (Oracle 9iAS).

I have got an existing application with a following source directory structure:

<pre>
|– src
| |– java
| | `– com
| | `– mycompany
| | |– myapp
| | | |– ejb
| | | |– util
| | | `– web
</pre>

As you can see, java source is put under three different packages: com.mycompany.myapp.ejb, com.mycompany.myapp.util, com.mycompany.myapp.web. Ant scripts are used to build the following libraries

<pre>
|– lib
| |– myapp-ejb.jar
| |– myapp-util.jar
| |– myapp-web.war
</pre>

and the myapp.ear is built from those.

What should I do to be able to debug the application with MyEclipse and Oracle 9iAS?

I tried to create an enterprise application project with an ejb module and a web module. I copied the sources from com.mycompany.myapp.ejb to the ejb module and the sources from com.mycompany.myapp.web to the web module. Where should I put the util sources? They are part of the application and both ejb and web modules are using them.

Regards,

Sami

MyEclipse structures Web and EJB projects of an EAR project such that Web projects are dependent upon and have visibility to EJB projects. This is consistent with how the J2EE appserver’s classloader model functions. Thus, if you place util classes in the EJB project, web project references to those resources should be resolved.

How do you place util classes in the EJB project?

[support-michael]

For the EJB project’s build properties you can add a new src folder and point it to the util src root of your codebase. Doing this will add the util classes to the classpath along with the EJB’s classes and make them visible to the web-project module(s) of your ME enterpise project. Also the MyEclipse deployer will package these classes with your EJB jar. We are adding dependent projects for an upcoming release that will provide much more flexibility in this process.
