Environment Background:
O/S: Windows 2000 Professional v. 5.00.2195 Service pack 4

Eclipse Version 2.1.1 build ID 200306271545

Eclipse was first installed alone, then web tools added following instuctions from the book, “Eclipse in Action” by David Gallardo, Ed Burnette and Robert McGovern; Published by Manning. The install never got anything with the Tomcat server to see/ work.

So yes, the external pluggins from this book are installed.

6 plugins in the <eclipse>/plugins directory are like org.eclipse.pde.*

MyEclipse version: 2.6.100
JDK version to run Eclipse and app server (Tomcat) is : 1.4.1
I am using Tomcat 5 vr: 5.0.16
No entries in the .log file since I installed MyEclipse. Previous entries show starting and restarting Tomcat 4 (I installed this version before installing MyEclipse for the book.
—————

Steps leading to the error:
1) After the MyEclipse installation, I followed the MyEclipse online “User Guide.”
2) I completed Part 1 successfully.
3) For Part 2, I installed Tomcat 5 and tested the jsp’s & servlets using their sample/example apps. I left the default to run on localhost:8080.
4) At the Deployment Wizard Figure 4b step, when I click on “Finish” the following error message displays:

“Error Creating Deployment

The selected server is enabled, but is not configured properly. Deployment to it will not be permitted until the problem is corrected. Please navigate to the server preference pages and verify the field with the prompt: Tomcat JDK name”

Gary,

Please see this thread to find out what the ‘Tomcat JDK name’ error relates to:

I seem to have this step working know. The link explaination and more importantly the tutorial instructions could be much clearer. I don’t see where the “Configuring the Tomcat-5 Server Connector” section discussed going to the <Tomcat -> JDK> submenu. Anyway, seems like it’s working know. Another issue is After I “Add”ed the info, I went back to check my work, the “Add”ed entry doesn’t show up. confusing to me.

Thanks for the help! On to the next step.
