I am new to and learning Workbench (2.5.1), and using Eclipse 2.1.1. I have some questions…
1. If I cannot get updates through MyEclipse Workbench because of firewall/proxy company security policy, can I get the updates in other ways?
2. Do I need to have Weblogic Application Server installed in my PC before I can generate the deployment descriptors for it? I don’t see the “MyEclipse->Deploy…” item when I right click on my project (I have already specified Weblogic as the application server).
Does Workbench support Weblogic if I can “see” the Weblogic directory across network? (the Weblogic server is installed in a Unix server, but I am developing in my PC).
3. If I choose Weblogic and run deployment, does Workbench generate the “weblogic-ejb-jar.xml” and “weblogic-cmp-jar.xml” files too (in addition to ejb-jar.xml”)?
4. Does workbench support BMP, or have plan to generate the class files from database? (For example, JBuilder has wizards to take a specified datasource, and then generate the BMP/CMP, primary key PK, and associated interface and class java files)
5. How does WorkBench compare to BEA’s Workshop functionality-wise? More specifically, how can we use WorkBench to correspond (not simulate) to the compile/debug/deploy functionality of WorkShop?
Thanks.
Suraphol,
Great questions. Here are some hopefully great answers. 🙂
1. If I cannot get updates through MyEclipse Workbench because of firewall/proxy company security policy, can I get the updates in other ways?
You can always download the new version of our double-click installer and use that. Full upgrade instructions are in the FAQ here:
http://www.myeclipseide.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=FAQ&file=index&myfaq=yes&id_cat=5&categories=Installation+and+Updates&parent_id=4#152. Do I need to have Weblogic Application Server installed in my PC before I can generate the deployment descriptors for it?
No. XDoclet can help you generate those without WebLogic being installed.
I don’t see the “MyEclipse->Deploy…” item when I right click on my project (I have already specified Weblogic as the application server).
The web tutorial in the product is a little out of date. The version on this site is much more current. Please refer to it at:
http://www.myeclipseide.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=PostWrap&file=index&page=http://myeclipseide.com/enterpriseworkbench/help/index.jspDoes Workbench support Weblogic if I can “see” the Weblogic directory across network? (the Weblogic server is installed in a Unix server, but I am developing in my PC).
As long as you’re just using Unix as a fileserver and it looks like a mounted Windows drive. WebLogic will be launched on your PC for debugging, not on the Unix server.
3. If I choose Weblogic and run deployment, does Workbench generate the “weblogic-ejb-jar.xml” and “weblogic-cmp-jar.xml” files too (in addition to ejb-jar.xml”)?
No, you have to generate that ahead of time using the weblogic task in the XDoclet support. Please see the XDoclet tutorial and reference manual in the MyEclipse User Guide. Also, under Tasks there’s a section on creating an EJB with XDoclet.
4. Does workbench support BMP, or have plan to generate the class files from database? (For example, JBuilder has wizards to take a specified datasource, and then generate the BMP/CMP, primary key PK, and associated interface and class java files)
All CMP and BMP support is generated by XDoclet based on the tags you use in your EJB’s XDoclet markup.
5. How does WorkBench compare to BEA’s Workshop functionality-wise? More specifically, how can we use WorkBench to correspond (not simulate) to the compile/debug/deploy functionality of WorkShop?
I can’t really speak to this one as every time I’ve used BEA Workshop in the past it has quickly crashed on me and I’ve given up. I haven’t tried the new version with 8.1, so maybe it’s better now. In any case I don’t know how the tools correspond at this point.
