Geronimo WTP client for eclipse doesn't work as expected
Hi,
I am quite new at Geronimo at the moment. I have up to now been using JBoss
as an integrated application server in my Eclipse IDE. Since I am all but
impressed of the way that server handles memory and redeploy I am interested
in trying out the Geronimo application server.
The status at the moment is that I have the Geronimo server 2.0.2 installed
and working. I have a deployment plan that works and I think that the
performance is better.
My problem is the automatic redeploy that I can't get to work at all. When I
alter an jsp page or a java class the WTP reacts and the server starts a
redeploy but there isn't any change in the appearance or the files in the
server structure.
For a change to have affect I need to remove the project with the Add and
Remove Projects... menu option. Restart the server and the add the project
again. This is a bit more tedious than using JBoss; to describe it mildly.
The action is exactly similar regardless of how the installation has been
done. First I installed Geronimo by hand and the WTP from within eclipse. I
all worked as above. After that I tried to do also the Geronimo installation
from within eclipse. Then I got 2.0.1 with the JRE_HOME issue and upgraded
to 2.0.2 with the above result.
I am using Maven to set up and manage my projects so the compiled files end
up in target/classes if this is an issue.
Please guide me, I want to use Geronimo and I refuse to believe that it is
intended to work this way.
Best Regards
Mett

Oh ok, that is the one of the 5 prereqs for the GEP. If you following my
recommendations in my previous note and start with a new Eclipse installation
and workspace, and then get the other 4 prereqs, you'll be good to go !!!! BTW,
I haven't been able to get back to your previous republish problem, but have
now just opened a JIRA to address the problem (lest I forget) and will try to
get to get back to it later today....

Hi again Tim,
I have now manually downloaded WTP maintenance build type
http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/downloads/drops/R2.0/M-2.0.2-20080117053217/.
I exported the zip contents to my Eclipse installation folder and restarted
Eclipse Europe.
I still can't find the WTP within the Eclipse IDE.
What is your suggested path for moving on, I really want this to work...
Best Regards
Mett

Ok Tim, here I go...
A little more documentation on the website wouldn't hurt.
* When a new user finds the page
http://geronimo.apache.org/geronimo-eclipse-plugin-usage-instructions.html
there should be a little more info available. Like the one I found out. (See
the post from me starting with Solved!)
* A newbie also might be interested in the page
http://geronimo.apache.org/geronimo-eclipse-plugin-faq.html and especially
in the section Users FAQ. Finally there he/she only finds questions...
* Maybe a cooperation with the maven guys could end up with a special goal.
eclipse:geronimo perhaps that would solve the issue beforehand if using
maven.
I believe fixing the first two might do the trick for newbies though.

Re: Solved! Re: Geronimo WTP client for eclipse doesn't work as expected
Posted by Tim McConnell <ti...@gmail.com>.
HI Mett, well I glad you found the problem, although I'm not happy that it took
so long. Do you have a suggestion for how we might make this more obvious to
users like you who may not be as familiar with either Geronimo or the Geronimo
Eclipse Plugin. All suggestions are welcome. Thanks

Solved! Re: Geronimo WTP client for eclipse doesn't work as
expected
Posted by mett <ge...@romram.se>.
Hi!
Finally I found the source to the problem. When a project is created within
eclipse, an eclipse that has the Geronimo WTP client installed the Targeted
Runtime is set to Apache Geronimo as a default.
For my project that was created outside eclipse this isn't the case.
After comparing every little detail between these projects I found that
setting Apache Geronimo v2.0 as a targeted Runtime changes was noticed by
Geronimo. Looking back this seems quite obvious, it wasn't for me believe
you me.

Re: Geronimo WTP client for eclipse doesn't work as expected
Posted by mett <ge...@romram.se>.
Thanks for all your effort so far Tim,
However I haven't found the solution yet but I have an hunch on where the
error might be.
Since the project is renewed when it is removed from the server via "Add and
Remove Projects..." menu option but not when the WTP is signaling changed
files I believe the Geronimo is looking for changed files in the wrong
place. As I mentioned before the Geronimo Server changes state in the
Servers view in Eclipse but the console stays the same.
I believe that the cause for this might be that the project structure isn't
"default" eclipse but a deeper hierarchy painted by maven.
When I create a project within eclipse the change in an jsp or html page is
instantly reflected in the web browser.
Is there something in some configuration file that I need to look at. Please
kick me in the right direction.

Re: Geronimo WTP client for eclipse doesn't work as expected
Posted by Tim McConnell <ti...@gmail.com>.
Hi Mett, let me take a stab at your questions.....
1. You are looking in the right place, but as you know WTP is very large with
many feature and plugins such that the precise version of WTP is somewhat
obfuscated (at least as far as I know). What you may want to consider is to
possibly start with a new Eclipse installation and download what is required to
run the version of the GEP that you wish to use. If you want to use GEP 2.0 you
can get the list of prereqs from here:
---> http://geronimo.apache.org/development-tools.html
I would recommend just using the ant script since it'll save you a LOT of time
by downloading everything for you (except the JDK), and unzipping it into an
eclipse directory that you can use to create your new eclipse installation.
Also, these are the latest maintenance versions of WTP and the other prereqs. If
you don't want maintenance versions but would rather use official released
versions you can use this ant script instead....
--->
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/devtools/eclipse-plugin/tags/2.0.0/eclipse/build.xml
2. Frankly, I don't know much about the BEA jrockit JDK. It may be fine, but
Geronimo and the GEP are developed and tested only on Sun JDKs, and I would
recommend the same for you just to be safe.
3. If you following the recommendations in #1, #2 above you will also want to
start with a new Eclipse workspace as well and then define the Geronimo server.
If not, then you definitely need to delete and redefine you Geronimo Server
Definition.
Hope this helps. Thanks.

Re: Geronimo WTP client for eclipse doesn't work as expected
Posted by mett <ge...@romram.se>.
Hi Tim,
First of all it's really nice to get such a swift response to a question of
mine, Thanks!
However I have a couple of follow up questions:
1. Where is the place to verify the version numbers in Eclipse? When I look
at Help/About Eclipse Platform/Feature Details I find them all but WTP. This
is strange to me since I am sure I have installed this. Going further down
into the Plug-In Details I find a lot of plug-ins starting with the letters
WTP but then with the wrong version number. I don't even think they are
related to the true WTP.
2. How important is the Sun JDK 5.0? I am running on jrockit 1.6.0_01.
3. Now, after finishing with updates of all updatable plug-ins there are I
still can't find the WTP plugin in the Feature Details list. I now know that
this is installed since I just did it (again). Where can I verify its
existance?
Within the Plug-in details dialog I find these WTP(?) plugins: WTP EJB UI
Plug-in, WTP J2EE UI Plug-in, WTP JCA UI Plug-in, WTP Servlet UI Plug-in,
WTP UI Plug-in, WTP Webservice UI Plug-in. These doesn't seam to be directly
related but they start with WTP.
The IDE is restarted a numerous of times, Do I need to reinstall the
Geronimo server after I updated all of these features?
Best Regards
Mett

Hi Mett, I see the problem on our trunk version of the Geronimo Eclipse Plugin
(GEP) and Geronimo server. It works fine for me though on my 2.0.2 version of
the Geronimo and Plugin. I'm guessing at this point that it might be a WTP
problem, but will have to do a bit more analysis/debugging to ensure that is the
case. Thanks much for bringing this to our attention....

Hi Mett, Thanks very much for trying out the Geronimo server and the Geronimo
Eclipse plugin. The behavior you're seeing is not the normal behavior. You
should see your application get redeployed, which it sounds like you are, and
then see the changes in your web application and/or browser. I have a test for
this and will double-check that it still works on 2.0.2. Meanwhile, you might
check to ensure that you have all the required prerequisites for the 2.0.x
plugin from here:
-----> http://geronimo.apache.org/development-tools.html
If you are at liberty to share your workspace that would help me, but if not, we
can work around it. Thanks much....
