Running the following:

===============================
Window XP SP1

Eclipse SDK
Version: 3.1.0
Build id: I20050627-1435

MyEclipse
Version: 4.9 Milestone 3 (3.9.310)
Build-Id: 20050808-4.0-Milestone-3

Java
JDK 1.5

================================

I was wondering if it’s possible to set the root location of the web project. When i preview a jsp, right-click on the preview pane and then select properites, i see this:

file://C:\JAVA\eclipse\workspace\Portal\WebRoot\company\company_details.jsp_preview_.html

Is it possible to set the root location of the web project to http://localhost:8080/ so that i can the correct rendering of the jsp? I know by reading past threads, that this functionality was not there. After i upgraded i was hopting to find this setting but i haven’t seen anything in the eclipse properties to set such an option.

Please let me know, Thank you

Russ,
Can you explain in more detail what you mean? The link you gave is to a local file, so we can’t see it. Are your relative paths in your webapp not being resolved in the preview?

I realize you won’t be able to see the links.

I’m asking if it’s possible to set a property somewhere in eclipse so that the jsp preview will resolve the jsp to http://myrootpath:8080/myjsp.jsp instead of file://C:\path_to_eclipse\my_workspace\my_project\myjsp.jsp._preview_.html

I want to see a preview of the jsp served by my tomcat container, not a rendered html preview. This also affects css imports.

Thanks
Russ

Russ,
There is not a property somewhere to get the result you want, although I would suggest that using an explded deployment and keeping tomcat running should give you similar results (you just need to click over to your web browser and hit refresh)
