When I try to deploy my web application as a .WAR file (Packaged Archive), nothing happens. Is there a log file or something I can look at to see what went wrong? Does this happen to anyone else?

Eclipse 2.1.2
JDK 1.4.2
MyEclipse 2.6.4Hmmm…. The log file is at <workspace-directory>/.metadata/.log. Can you also post your complete configuration information as we request in the ‘Posting Guidelines’ thread? With that and the log we should be able to figure out what’s up.

MyEclipse SupportNever mind the config info. I saw it in one of your other posts. The log we need though.

MyEclipse SupportHere is the contents of the platform.cfg.log file:
LogEntry.0=START_INSTALL_LOG
LogEntry.1=ALL_FEATURES_INSTALLED
LogEntry.2=END_INSTALL_LOG
eof=eofOK
Oops. Sorry, but that’s not the log file I meant. 🙂
The log file is located at <workspace>/.metadata/.log. It may not be visible in the explorer on windows if you have it set to ‘hide file extensions’.

When you say nothing happens, do you mean that your application isn’t deployed, or that it’s not available via the browser? Can you also provide all the configuration information we request in the Posting Guidelines thread at the top of this forum? That often helps us quickly see the issue.

Gotcha. . .here is the contents of .log:

The .war file never gets created in the <tomcat>/webapps folder.
Deployment descriptor: C:\development\workspace\communitylist-WAR\Web-Content\WEB-INF\web.xml does not exist.
This looks like the culprit. It appears that your web project isn’t deployable because it lacks a web.xml file. That’s really odd since we put one in there when we create web projects. In any case, until you have a valid one, this things is going nowhere. 🙂
I’ve entered a bug report to get a better error message, like one that doesn’t require reading the log.

MyEclipse SupportNever mind. . .after actually reading that .log file, I notice the line that reads:
Deployment descriptor: C:\development\workspace\communitylist-WAR\Web-Content\WEB-INF\web.xml does not exist.
Once I added a generic web.xml file, it deployed just fine. Thanks for your responses! Keep up the great work.
