I am setting up a J2EE Web project to which I’m porting a JDeveloper project. My web server is a different machine than my development machine. Following the suggestions in different posts, I have mapped the tomcat directory on the other server to a drive, T: and it’s SDK directory to J:. I have followed the methodology as laid out in “Application Deployment and Server Mgmt Quickstart”. I can browse to these two directories and see all the files for Tomcat and the Java SDK. When I try to start the Tomcat Application connection from MyEclipse, I get the following messages:

I cannot find this bin\conf\server.xml file. Neither can I find a text string matching that in any files in the Tomcat directory. Does anyone know how I can get this remote deployment running?

Thank you.

Kindest Regards,

I should note that I can start Tomcat successfully from the web server.
I’m using Eclipse 3.1.2 on Windows XP sp 2. Further configuration information can be supplied upon request.

Thank you,
Julie
