I am taking an Online College Advanced Java Development course and the professor has us using Java 1.5.0_06 and Tomcat 5.0.28. I created an Eclipse Web Project for the class and installed the EclipseTotale.com Tomcat Launcher plug-in. When I use the Tomcat export WAR file feature it pulls the src and Webroot diectories. Since the web-xml file, under WEB-INF, is under the Webroot directory, Tomcat cannot find it. I have to move WEB-INF out from under Webroot and delete the Webroot directory.
I am using MyEclipse 5.5.1 GA.
1) Should I have used a different project template? I tried several but none came as close as Web Project (I have jsps and servlets at this time).
2) If the template is fine, is there a way to configurewhat I want exported to the WAR file? I would like to eliminate the src and high-level Webroot (keeping the sub-directory WEB-INF, etc.)Thank You!
If your using MyEclipse, why don’t you just right click on the project and go to Export > J2EE > WAR and export your project to a war. I guess thats what your looking for.
Hi Nipun,
That did not work. All I got was a 4K file that contained just the meta-inf, web-inf, and web-inf/classes directory. It did not export my img directory which contains my website images and my jsp files which are located at the root directory. If I use the Tomcat export I get my img directory and jsps from the root directory, BUT, I also get the high-level Webroot directory with meta-inf and web-if underneath. I can’t seem to get either one of these options to work right. With Tomcat I get too much, with your suggestion I get too little. I am trying to create a web project in MyEclipse and export to a Tomcat WAR file that can be deployed correctly. It is not going well.Are you trying to deploy your application to the Tomcat Server using MyEclipse ? If you are, then I would suggest you go through this tutorial to get an idea on how that can be done.
