Newbie here… sorry….
I seem to have everything up and running here on my local machine. Deploying to my tomcat 5.5 installation seems to work fine. Debug works fine. Everything seems to work exactly as expected and specified in tutorials and help files.
What is not clear to me is how do I now deploy my application to my (remote) production server.
I have been searching around the help files, and it’s still not clear to me how do I get my application from my local (development) machine to my remote (production) server. It seems that deployment is expected to take place on the same MyEclipse enabled machine.
At this stage I am not terribly interested in remote debugging or autosynching, but rather just deploying.
In my current (non-Eclipse) environtment, this is as simple as changing values in my build.properties file. I use ant and the tomcat manager to handle deployment.
While searching around for some information I came across this:
The requirements for MyEclipse application server support are:
MyEclipse application server connectors require direct access to application server installation. Therefore the application server must be installed on the file system of the machine that MyEclipse will operate. Note: MyEclipse does not currently support application deployment to remote application servers.
Am I missing something here?
The easiest way to deploy to a remote server would be to mount the production server’s deployment directory as a remote drive on your development machine and then use one of the Custom deployment targets to configure the deployment location. More information on how to deploy and debug remote servers is in the Remote Debugging quickstart that is in the Documentation section of the portal.
Well, I am not sure how to mount a remote Unix server using Windows XP. I looked at help files, and it says only NTFS disks can be mounted.
I know this is a bit off topic, but any help here?
Also, this seems like a bit of a klug considering how easy it is to deploy with BOSS and Tomcat. Will (production) deployment to remote servers be a feature supported in the near future?
