Re: [OT] EasyStruts and location of the generated Action file (URGENT)

[Craig Tataryn <cr...@hotmail.com>]

I too use the Tomcat & Easy Struts plugins for Eclipse.  In fact I would say 
they go hand in hand.

Typically this is what you do:

Install the Tomcat plugin, go into Window->Preferences-Tomcat and tell it 
where your tomcat base directory (CATILINA_HOME if you will) then create a 
new Tomcat project.  This ensures that your server.xml file will be setup 
properly so that a new context is added which points to your 
eclipse/workspaces/<projectName>/WEB-INF/ folder and your sources will be 
compiled to the proper directories.

If you need to stick jars in the WEB-INF/lib directory, right click on your 
project in the Java perspective (top most node) and choose Properties->Java 
Build Path->Libraries->Add External JARS.  Add the jar file, and the next 
time you refresh your WEB-INF/lib directory in eclipse you will see the new 
jar file appear there and you can use it's classes in your servlets.

Sound good?  So it just seems like you never started your project off as a 
"Tomcat" project before using the Easy Struts wizards.  Like I said, the 
Tomcat project container ensures that Tomcat knows where your classes are 
and it also ensures that the WEB-INF directory structure is created and 
updated for your project.
