Hi,

I was working with MyEclipse 4.1 for an application deployed on WAS 6.0.
I switched to MyEclipse 5.0, and when starting ME 5 with my existing workspace (created with ME 4), i get the following problem:
in the preferences -> MyEclipse -> Application Server, the application server list does not get displayed.
So I cannot configure the connector.
However, some settings have been kept, as the app server i configured under ME 4 is still available from the project deployment interface. But I cannot change the connector details (e.g. if I want to change profile), neither choose to launch the server in run or debug mode.
When i switch workspace, this problem does not come, the app server connectors settings are available.

My dev machine is a Linux box (Suse).

Another question: is it possible to hot deploy and run in debug mode on a remote WAS server?
I saw a link in this forum explaining how to do for various app servers, but not for WebSphere. I think besides that I read somewhere some time back that it was not possible for WAS. Just wanted to ensure that it was still the case?

thanks for help!

Mikael,
Can you go to MyEclipse menu, click it, then click INstallation Summary > Installation Details and post that information here for me?

Also, you can only deploy to remote servers *if* you are able to mount their deployment directories locally, then you can use a Custom Location deployment to deploy your app to that remote mount, which actually places the files on the remote server to reload. Other than that, MyEclipse will not communicate with the app server to make remote deployments.

Actually you can, but you just have to connect to the server and use our remote debugging functionality as outlined here:
http://www.myeclipseide.com/images/tutorials/quickstarts/remotedebugging/

Also your configuration looks OK, but the server list not loading is a classic symptom of having an install that is in bad shape. If you create a new workspace (File > Switch Workspace > C:\tempworkspace, hit OK to restart), can you see the server list? If so, then I can walk you through the steps of importing your old work into a new workspace as outlined here:

Hi,
Thanks for your help Riyad.

I followed the migration process you described; however when importing the preferences from the old workspace I faced the same pb (app server list not available in connectors); so I had to reset preferences manually in the newly created workspace.
Then I imported my projects.
Anyway, it is now working.

I also have this already mentioned (by other users in the forum) popup error message (error:null) when saving jsps; i followed the tips given, changing my default jsp editor, it fixed the issue.

Concerning the debugging functionality document for which you gave a link, I did not have time yet to look at it in details (it is not an urgent requirement on my side anyway); but I don’t see IBM WAS covered?

Finally: I have another pb, with the search functionality; i posted it in the “bug” section of the forum

This was a synchronization problem that will be fixed in 5.1 due shortly (this week or next).

Concerning the debugging functionality document for which you gave a link, I did not have time yet to look at it in details (it is not an urgent requirement on my side anyway); but I don’t see IBM WAS covered?

The Remote Debugging doc is a generic debugging document that tells you how to connect to a running application server and use Remote debugging for Classes and JSP files within MyEclipse. As long as you are using JDK 1.4 or later to run your app server and MyEclipse *and* your app server supports the JSR-45 specification, then remote debugging is supported.

ok, Thanks for the update & info
