OpenEJBListener and Eclipse

[Mike Otto <mi...@morning.in-berlin.de>]

Hello
I am testing out openejb 3.0 beta 2 release with tomcat 6.0.16 and jdk 1.6.0_05

openejb.war and ejb-examples-1.0.war work fine as long as I start tomcat
manually in bin/catalina.bat

Starting tomcat in eclipse leads to a error (see below)

in server.xml
<Listener className="org.apache.openejb.loader.OpenEJBListener"/>

I guess this is because

 StandardServer server = (StandardServer)ServerFactory.getServer();

is null in this context. But I don't know why.

Any hints?

Best Regards, Mike

Hi Mike,

I'm not too sure how Eclipse starts and manages Tomcat.

Dario, I seem to recall you mentioning this exact situation in your  
Tomcat/OpenEJB article.  Do you happen to have any insight?
