J2EE project without a target server? [message #84682] Thu, 17 March 2005 14:44 Go to next message

I need to use Weblogic 7.0 to develop and deploy certain applications.
And atleast at the moment, I dont see a way to configure 7.0 as a target
server.

So what I do is create a j2ee application and have a ant script included
in the builders which prepares the WAR and deployes it under my weblogic
installation.
Then, I have setup remote debugging to debug this application under
weblogic 7.0 from within eclipse.

All this is fine, except that whenever I create a new J2EE project, I HAVE
to specify a target server. In this case, even though there is no "target
server", I have to unnecessarily download and install tomcat, configure it
as a target server. (After exiting the j2ee wizard, I delete the tomcat
runtime from the project classpath) Is there any way to skip this step
while creating a "J2EE project" ?

You could create a directory at some convenient location and copy to
this directory the runtime jars your webapp needs to compile. I would
guess that this would include at least weblogic.jar. Then execute
Window -> Preferences, select Server -> Installed Runtimes, and click
Add. Select Basic -> J2EE Runtime Library and specify a name and point
it at the directory above. Until you can find out how to derive a
WebLogic 7.0 Generic server from the WebLogic 8.1 support (I don't have
this answer at the moment), you can choose this as your Target Server
when you create a J2EE Web Project.

Cheers,
Larry

These are valid concerns though....

I really think we should provide a generic Web Container, and J2EE
container
with the minimum classes for compilation. (j2ee.jar, servlet.jar)

Given the challenges with providing 3rd party content, I'm not sure how
easy this will be.
