Hi,

I’ve been trying to create a servlets using the wizard and when I click the finish button I get a unable to write error to the web.xml. The sevlet file is written okay but the deployment file has no mappings entered into it.

The process I have been using is create a basic web project then immediately go to create a new servlet. I do not change any of the basic settings that default in.

The workspace I am using is a drive that has been mapped to a network server. When I use my local c:\ workspace and create a web project and then use the servlet wizard the web.xml is created as expected.

I have tried creating new workspaces and starting and stopping Eclipse but when I use the mapped drive I always get a unable to write error for the web.xml.

I am using
Eclipse
Version: 3.1.0
Build id: 200409240800

MyEclipse
Version: 3.8.2
Build id: 200409171200-3.8.2

Is there a problem using mapped drives or have I failed to set some parameter.

Regards
Chris

Chris, this is the problem. Eclipse 3.1 is not supported at this time. For the best experience please be sure to use Eclipse 3.0.1 or latest stable release in the 3.0 series.

Thanks for the reply I thought that might be the case.

FYI I had a similar problem when using the struts tutorial in that mapping details were not being written to the struts config xml. So that might need looking at in regards to supporting the newer version of eclipse.

So that might need looking at in regards to supporting the newer version of eclipse.

Absolutely, we plan on knocking out 1 more major Eclipse 3.0-based rlease and maybe an update if necessary then focusing on porting to the Eclipse 3.1 platform… at about that same time (March/April/May) the Eclipse team will have the 3.1 platform in RC stage, so we won’t have to worry about API breakages too much and it will be a relatively smooth port/transition for everyone.
