We have 4 different WebSphere profiles in our environment. In our MyEclipse workspace, we have 4 Enterprise Applications, each of which is to be deployed to each specific Websphere profile. Currently, we accomplish this through various Eclipse builders and Ant. However, we were hoping to use the MyEclipse WebSphere integration, but it seems to only support a single WebSphere profile. We do not have the flexibility to change the architecture to deploy to a single profile at this time.

Am I missing something or is this not supported right now? If not supported now, will it be in future?

Jay,
Are you asking about launch configurations or about deployments? For custom launch configurations, if you go to the “Launch” property page for each connector, you can create a custom launch configuration specifically for that app server that you can tweak.

If you mean deployment, an easy way to get around the 1:1 mapping of Project to Server is when you go to create the deployment, select “Custom Location” instead of the app server, then you have to explicitly specify the location where the deployment will be put. You can do this for the 4 different projects.

OK, I set up the 4 launches and then set up the 4 custom location deployments. However, I still only see the 1 WebSphere 6 server in the Servers view. I realize I can run the individual launches from the menu, but is there any way to get the 4 launches, a.k.a. profiles, in the Servers view?

Unfortunately not at this moment, we only show the individual server configurations down there but are hoping to enhance this in the future.

Jay,
Yes you can deploy to multiple domains and manage them now by way of a combination of:
1) “Custom Location” deployments
2) Launch Configuratios created from the specific connectors you want, and further customized to launch WS exactly how you want it to.

You can access #2 under the connector configuration under “Launch”. Then the launch configuration is added under your Run and Debug menus, you can click the Down arrows next to them from the toolbar and open the dialogs to see those MyEclipse Server launch configurations.

Riyad,

I created the 4 launches configurations, each pointing to a different WebSphere 6.1 profile. I’m a bit confused as to the custom location deployment. For a given WebSphere profile, what do I put in for the deploy location? Also, shall I still assume that I cannot get the server in the Servers view?

Jay,
Yes sorry no server control in server views yet (we need to get that added, I agree it’s a destriment)

As for the deployment location, you can select the WebSphere server and see what location gets filled in, and then go back to Custom Location and try and duplicate the comparable location for each custom location deployment.

off the top of my head I don’t know the deploy dir for WebSphere, sorry about that.

It has been several months since this topic has seen activity but I wanted to know if any progress had been made on this. The base servers tab that came with Eclipse used to contain this functionality. Is there any way to go back to using the base servers tab that came with Eclipse rather than the MyEclipse version?

[Riyad Kalla]

zncarter,
MyEclipse and WTP use different server connector implementations, so the views aren’t interchangable.
