I am currently using myeclipse, instead of websphere (as some of our company currently use). I love it, but currently I found one option that WAS Studio has, and myeclipse, doesnt. Anyways, i tried to add that option, but i couldnt found anything on the net.

The wsi configurator of the webserver has:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<webSphere-instance INSTANCE_CONFIG_REF="/Servers/WAS 4.0.wsc"
   INSTANCE_DEBUG_PORT_NUM_ID="-1"
   INSTANCE_EXTRA_WS_EXT_DIRS_APPEND_FLAG_ID="0"
   INSTANCE_FILE_KEY="WebSphere v4.0 Test Environment Server"
   INSTANCE_IS_FORCE_PREPEND_JAVA_LIB_PATH_ID="true"
   INSTANCE_JSP_SRC_DEBUG_ID="true" INSTANCE_RAC_PORT_NUM_ID="10002"
   hotMethodReplace="false" name="WAS 4.0">
   <configuration-ref ref="/Servers/WAS 4.0.wsc"/>
   <path type="0" value=""/>
   <classpath/>
   <system-properties>
      <property name="com.ibm.ws.classloader.J2EEApplicationMode" value="true"/>
   </system-properties>
   <vm-arguments/>
   <wsExtDirs/>
</webSphere-instance>

Note the hotMethodReplace option… its an option (maybe at jdk level, or application server level, no sure) i was unable to found this same option into the myeclipse websphere options.

I found that the debugger aint working because eclipse alert me that my application does not support hot code replace.

Anything else with the plugin works great!

ps: if you need all the “other” configuration options let me know…. i will add them (but i feel that it isnt needed)

Hot Code replace requires JDK 1.4+ and a JSR-45 compatible application server, IIRC WAS 4.0 does not support either of these. WSAD supports this because it has app-server specific hooks that it uses, but we support a much broader range of app servers, so we don’t offer app-server specific hooks like this. I believe WAS 6.0 supports what you want just fine.

Oopss 🙁

The company choose WAS 4 as their application server, so… We need to wait a few months, hopefully we end up using jboss 🙂

Thanks for the help. I will stop trying to make it work, at least 😉
