Is it possible to add support to MyEclipse for Sun Java System Web Server? The core servlet container is very similar to the implementation in Glassfish.
Cheers
DavidDavid,
Thank you for posting your feature request. I have escalated the same to our management for their consideration and added to our features tracking list.
Hi Joy,
I just wanted to check if there has been any update on this request or if there is somewhere that I can monitor the status? Reason being that we have a large project coming upsoon and we will need to use an IDE that supports Sun Java System Web Server.
Thanks & regards
DavidDavid,
Im afraid this could not make it to the 8.0 GA release. Sorry about that. I’ll try to push this for the 8.5 release.David,
The connector is in development now. If everything goes well, you should see it in the 8.5 M2 release, due in about a months time.
We appreciate your patience, thank you for asking.
Hi,
Can you confirm whether or not the Sun Java Web Server 7 support has been added to the 8.5 M2 release?
Thanks

David,
Yes, it has been added to 8.5M2. Would strongly encourage you to try it out and let us know if you find any issues so we can catch them for GA.
Looking forward to hear about your experience.
Hi Brian,
Thanks for the update. Thats great news! I’ll download now and give it a whirl. Will let you know how I get on.
regards
DavidHi,
I’ve tried to get this connector working but without success. The steps I am taking are as follows but am unable to step throught the code in debug mode.
MyEclipse 8.5M2
JDK 1.6u14Thanks
David1. Create New Web Project
2. Add source code to project
3. Enabled connector for Sun Java System Web Server
Home directory = D:\Sun
Configuration Directory = D:\Sun\<mywebappconfigurationdir>4. Deploy project as exploded application to D:\Sun\<mywebappconfigurationdir>\auto-deploy\<projectName>
5. Start web server
6. Insert breakpoint in code
7. Make request to application in browser
Hi,
Another small addition.
It looks like the IDE is not syncronizing with the autodeploy directory. It will only run whatever applications are deployed to the web-app directory and therefore if I change a line of code in my project, it is not being picked up and deployed out.
Also, can you tell me what the Home directory and Configuration directories should be set to for using Sun Java System Web? If I set them to a directory that doesn’t exist, the IDE will not complain or display any error message.
Thanks
DavidDavid,
Thank you for your feedback. I will escalate this to the dev team members to investigate this further.
Best.
Hi,
Just wondering if there is any update on this issue as we are waiting to implement this feature in our current project?
Thanks
DavidDavid,
Sorry for the delay in responding. Here are some details:
1) It appears that you have chosen the wrong folders. The Home directory is typically called WebServer7 – so, in you case
Home folder: C:\Sun\WebServer7
Configuration folder: C:\Sun\WebServer7\https-<machinename>I realize that validation for this preference page is very important and we will be adding that in a future release. Sorry about that.
2) Your deployed applications should be visible at:
http://localhost:80/AppName or
http://localhost:81/AppName3) Unfortunately we haven’t been able to provide one click debugging for this server due to non-standard way in which we’ve had to connect to it. You need to edit the server.xml file in the configuration folder and change the value of the <debug> element to true (under server/jvm). This will start the server in debug mode. In MyEclipse 8.5 GA this step will be unnecessary – we will control the value of this property based on your choice of Run or Debug modes.
You now need to setup a remote debugging configuration, from the main eclipse toolbar, bring down the debug menu and choose Debug Configurations (or choose Run > Debug Configurations). Create a new Remote Java Application configuration by double clicking that node. Select your project using the browse button. Leave the host at localhost and set the port to 7896 (this is a value that is set in the server.xml file). Click Debug to connect to the server (server must be started) and debug your application. We will try to improve this process as well.
Sorry for the inconvenience caused, please let us know how it goes.
