How to install Axis2 runtime in Eclipse Oxygen? - eclipse

I'm doing some tests with the last Eclipse developer builds, the Oxygen RC3. I know it's only a RC product, but in the milestones there was no problem with the Axis2 runtime. Here and now the Axis Runtime it's not present.
When I try to run the wizard and create the Web Service, I just don't see the option to set Axis2 runtime, just the Axis runtime.
Also I tried to install the plugins moving them into the dropins folder, running Eclipse with the -console option from the command line (following the Apache instructions) and when I check in the console with the command ss axis2 it says "Framework is launched.", and also I get 2 bundles installed:
Unfortunately, when I try to start them I got the message: BundleException: Could no resolve module: org.apache.axis2.eclipse.service.plugin [107X] Unresolved requirement: Import-Package: javax.xml.stream; version="1.0.0"
I tried installing them on the plugins folder, not working.
Also, I follow other guides surfing the net unsuccessfully.
What can I do? Thanks in advance!

Well, after some research, I get the solution! Axis2 Tools and CXF Web Services come with Eclipse Java EE Developer Tools Project, so I suppossed that will be the package that includes Axis2.
So I just search on Google that package in the Eclipse Marketplace (this link), and drag the Install button into the Eclipse SDK. I check and install the Axis2 Tools, CXF Web Services, and required packages.
After restar Eclipse, magic has done.
I have the Axis2 Runtime Settings:
The Axis2 Code Generator and Axis2 Service Archiver wizards:
And, finally, I have the Web Service runtime Apache Axis2 inside the Web Service Client wizard:

Dynamic Web project Error "Loading descriptor"

In the process of trying to build an android web service using Spring under Eclipse IDE, I need to create a Dynamic Web Project using Maven. The problem I am facing is an error " Loading descriptor for project has encountered a problem. I don't know how to solve this. Any input on that?
If you get the following exception:
Loading descriptor for project has encountered a problem. [...]
Nullpointerexception
right after creating a project, then there are 2 possible causes (or at least that how it was for me, when I had this issue).
1) A web.xml file is missing in your WebContent/WEB-INF folder or was not created during project creation. (in the last window you have to check option "Generate web.xml deployment descriptor" in eclipse, otherwise eclipse won't generate that file)
If your project is already created, you can still add a web.xml file into your WEB-INF directory. Depending on your servlet version (e.g. 2.5) you have to use a different template which can be found on the net.
2) Your Eclipse does not have all the necessary plugins for Dynamic Web projects.
You need to go to Help >> Install new Software
Select the site which corresponds to your eclipse version. (e.g. Kepler - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/kepler )
Install:
JST Server UI
JST Web UI
JST Server Adapters
JST Server Adapters Extension
WST Server Adapters.
You may also need:
Eclipse Java EE Developer tools
Eclipse Java Web Developer tools
Java Server Faces tools or JSF tools
Eclipse faceted Project Framework
Eclipse faceted Project Framework JDT Enablement
install Java EE web developer tools from Help >> "Install new Software".
check in project properties "Project Facets" should have proper check boxes enabled eg Dynamic Web Project etc.
I know this is late but may be useful for others.
In web.xml there may be some attribute repated in web-app tag.
In my case xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" attribute in repeated in tag web-app.

Use Tomcat server with Hibernate and Springsource Tool Suite?

I just installed Springsource Tool Suite as a plugin to eclipse kepler. I need to develop database-driven-web applications with it. I have thought I could do that using hibernate, but the eclipse STS plugin that I found for hibernate seems to only work with jboss server. I want to work with tomcat 7 server. Can someone suggest a good way to use hibernate with STS eclipse and tomcat? Or is there a better way besides eclipse to do database integration with STS eclipse and tomcat? Links to download tools, and to modern tutorials with the current versions of each tool, would be greatly appreciated. I just created a new Spring MVC project using the template in STS eclipse kepler. It would be nice to have tutorials and tools that work with that toolset. Even a fully working database-driven web application sample code to study.
Your requirements as listed below:
Spring Tools Suite : http://www.springsource.org/downloads/sts-ggts (Choose the appropriate version)
For Tomcat 7 to be used on STS , you will need to download it from this link: http://tomcat.apache.org/download-70.cgi
Update to JDK 7. Link: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
To setup tomcat 7 in Spring Tools Suite (essentially Eclipse configured for Spring) use this link : http://www.coreservlets.com/Apache-Tomcat-Tutorial/tomcat-7-with-eclipse.html (Follow the same procedure for STS)
You will also need to install a DBMS. Try using MySQL . Download it from : http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/
Also if you decide to use Eclipse for Spring (I do.. :P ), use this : http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-java-ee-developers/keplerr
If you decide to use Kepler, you will need to install STS plugin for Kepler. Try: http://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/spring-tool-suite-sts-eclipse-kepler-43#.UhwuRNJkOSo
Try the following link for your first project: http://www.mkyong.com/spring/maven-spring-hibernate-mysql-example/
EDIT: As a developer it is very essential to know what is the standard way of implementing a Spring+ORM application. It's practice to to include Maven as a dependency management tool. Follow the links:
Download Maven: http://maven.apache.org/download.cgi
Setup maven in Eclipse : Setting up new Maven In eclipse
Link to website using maven : Just Google.. :P
As for the no Maven part, try understanding why actually is maven used. Follow the link: http://www.tutorialspoint.com/spring/spring_environment_setup.htm , to setup a spring envirnoment without maven. When you use Hibernate, just add the necessary jars to WEB-INF/lib folder. As simple as that.
Hope it helps. :)

Metro plug-in for Eclipse Juno

Where can I find a tutorial to install and use a Metro plug-in to Eclipse Juno? I have to migrate a sample with ant (downloaded with metro 2.3 libraries) in a dynamic web project Eclipse. Thanks.
There is no Metro plug-in for Eclipse Juno, but GlassFish Tools for Juno available at Eclipse's marketplace. If you are willing to try it, there is an official tutorial for Metro-on-Eclipse available here.
However, you have mentioned in the comment that you are not using Glassfish, but Tomcat, so I would recommend different approach. Follow this tutorial and be careful when deploying the service - you will have to edit web.xml and sun-jaxws.xml files, together with installing JAX-WS (or Metro) libraries on Tomcat.

deploying a war file in WTP(Eclipse) tomcat server

I have a maven build Java project.
My war file name is: test-1.0-SNAPSHOT.war
I am using M2E plugin in Eclipse.
I have run target mvn package.
Added server as tomcat version 7 in eclipse indigo 3.7. Server started. But my war file didn't deployed in the server.
I have tried by right clicking tomcat server and Add remove..., it says "there is no resources that can be added or removed from the server".
How can i deploy my war file in the eclipse WTP tomcat server?. Do i need to run any maven target?
Make sure that you have "Maven Integration for WTP" installed in your Eclipse instance.
First check if it's available through
Window->Preferences->Maven->Discovery->Open Catalog
If for whatever reason this does not work, you can get WTP integration from this update site (that's the version I am currently using):
https://repository.sonatype.org/content/repositories/forge-sites/m2eclipse-wtp/0.13.0/S/0.13.0.20110623-0455
This integration does a lifecycle mapping of maven-war-plugin into m2e architecture.
Once you've installed the WTP integration, you must restart eclipse and once it's restarted, right click on your web app project and choose: Maven->Update Project Configuration...
Also, I would advise to run a clean build at this time.
Last, but not least, delete and recreate your Tomcat server configuration (I don't know why, but I had to do it quite a few times when I switched to m2e).
I think eclipse is not recognizing your project as a web app, To confirm this
Open to do open J2ee perspective on your eclipse, If you open the project folder of your app, You should see (Deployment Descriptor)
If you don't see it, your app is not web app as far as eclipse is concerned
I have see this in case if you imported/created a maven command line project
To fix this
Select Project ==> Properties ==> Project Facets ==> make sure Dynamic Web Module check box is checked
If you do that the local tomcat server will add your app when do add remove projects
I think eclipse is not recognizing your project as web app,convert your project into web app by command mvn eclipse:eclipse -Dwtpversion=2.0 and try to deploy in Eclipse configured tomcat,it will work.
If you have Eclipse 3.5 or above you should ensure that you have both the m2eclipse (m2e for 3.7) plugin installed and its WTP add-on. With these you shouldn't need to change your configuration by hand.
Did you try to build your project from the command line and deploy it in Tomcat by hand?
By the way, have you read this wiki post? It's a bit old, but it may still be relevant.
Adding 2 cents to Prasanna wonderful solution.
I realized that building maven war files "mvn package" was just creating .war file but eclipse was not picking up that war but was deploying its some internal version of it's app war.
I found that server > Browse Deployment Location.. in Eclipse server view .. it was taking to some abstract location like "C:\Programs\workspaceSTS.metadata.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core\tmp1\wtpwebapps"
Where I could see my exploded app deployed but it was not having any /classes folder just limited files.
Using Prasanna's method I realized that eclipse now was deploying full exploded .war now.
So this was happening coz changing the facets to Dynamic Web Module has actually populated "R-click project > Properties > Deployment Assembly "
This Web Deployment Assembly window only tells eclipse what to deploy and what not. So even if your project is NOT setup as Dynamic Web Module , and still if you configure "Web Deployment Assembly" values properly , eclipse will deploy the app fine to Tomcat/ Server.

What steps are necessary to get Eclipse and a Java servlet container integrated on Ubuntu 9.10?

What's the easiest way for me to get Eclipse running with a Java servlet container on Ubuntu 9.10?
I've tried a number of things, hitting dead ends each time. The best setup would use Ubuntu packages as much as possible, not require running Eclipse as root, and be able to debug running servlets.
Dead ends so far include run-jetty-run, the Sysdeo Tomcat plugin, and Eclipse WTP with tomcat6.
A big part of the problem is that the Ubuntu tomcat6 installation is non-standard, splitting directories such that they're not all in TOMCAT_HOME. Eclipse is also non-standard, and the usual plugin installation methods don't work. I got close by installing the WTP through a PPA, but I stumbled when trying to get it to recognize tomcat.
Ubuntu recently includes a pretty full Eclipse package that you can install via Synaptic or such. But I prefer to download my own.
I download from the Eclipse download site. If I choose Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers then I have server environments for all Web app containers already built in. If I set up one for Tomcat (in Eclipse), Eclipse will download and install Tomcat for me. It's quite convenient, although I sometimes have trouble finding Tomcat or its files. Eclipse squirrels them away somewhere.
The server setup menus become accessible to you once you create a Web project (not plain Java project).
You should "apt-get install sun-java6-jdk", download and use the Java EE version of Eclipse, and then create a dynamic web project. In the web project create a jsp page, and right click -> "Run -> Run on server" where you may then install a server connector.
Some connectors are included in Java EE, some must be downloaded. Choose the one corresponding to the server you have downloaded and unpacked, and point Eclipse to the directory.
If all succeedes, the JSP page should then show up in a browser served from the started server.
