I've been asked to migrate an older Ant-based web application. I'm building and trying to deploy using Eclipse Luna with JBoss Tools 3.0.1.Final. JBoss instance is EAP 6.3.0 (AS 7.1).
The build tool, like I said, is Ant. And when I run ant package, a valid WAR file is created at /target/foo.war
For some reason I'm having a heck of a time trying to explain to Eclipse and JBoss server that the foo.war file is what I want to deploy.
To this end I've:
Right-clicked on the project root and opened the Properties dialog.
Declared custom Ant builder for the project by going to Builders and adding an Ant builder and disabling the default Java builder.
Now Project -> Clean removes the target/ folder; Project -> Build results in a /target/foo.war file.
So far so good. At this point, I think all I need to do is declare that foo.war file as the Web Deployment Assembly? If I go to Web Deployment Assembly and click Add, then add the target/foo.war file, it tries to add it as a project library (i.e. WEB-INF/lib/foo.war). So clearly that's wrong.
I've also gone to the Server view, and tried numerous settings in the Deployment tab. The closest I've come to what I'm looking for is the Default Settings, but I haven't had any luck there, either.
(When I start JBoss via the JBoss Tools in Eclipse, then pull up the management console on port 9990, I can upload and deploy the WAR that way with no issues.)
I'm sure there's something completely obvious I'm missing. Could anyone help an IntelliJ user out? I have seen https://stackoverflow.com/a/4261178/3223711, but it seems to be missing the "last mile" in that the problem is not generating the WAR but in getting JBoss to actually pick it up and use it.
Thanks!
Since you are not actually not configuring the project to be a war project by Eclipse knowledge you need to tell JBoss Tools that you wish to deploy the specific war file.
To do this right click on the target/foo.war and select 'Mark as Deployable' - this tell JBoss Tools this foo.war can be deployed meaning you can now drag it to a server or add it via Add/Remove on the server.

I want to run web based Maven project on glassfish server. I am totally new on maven. However, i have successfully build the maven project and glassfish server is up and running also. Moreover, there is WAR file also in target folder but i am confused what is the next step to run that project on glassfish ?
Any help will be highly appreciated.
You have different options to solve this task:
If you are new to Eclipse I suggest to change to NetBeans. It comes with integrated support for application server deployments. You just add your maven (or nearly any other type of project like WAR, EJB and EAR) project and your desired application server instance (Glassfish) and you are ready: Right-click your project and choose Deploy and it'll get deployed to your server. NetBeans also supports hot-deployment.
You can deploy your WAR file manually in GLASSFISH_ROOT/glassfish/domains/domain1/autodeploy and it'll get deployed if your server is running. But this is not very efficient during development.
If you want to stay with Eclipse you can use the maven-glassfish-plugin or this maven plugin to do the deployment for you. I'm not sure which one is better but this topic is also discussed in this question and this question.
I have JBOSS server. I used to make web applications using just notepad++. I used to create the necessary folders like web-inf and files like web.xml. For larger projects doing all this and manually compiling has become cumbersome. I want to use eclipse for that. I saw this tutorial - http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/community/tutorials/BuildJ2EEWebApp/BuildJ2EEWebApp.html . But I don't understand how to make a server. I already have a server. What I want to do is write JSPs and Servlets in eclipse and the build should automatically be deployed in jboss server.
How to to this?
Install JBoss Tools
After that follow the instructions from here to get started and deploy apps to JBoss Server.
To automatically deploy apps after the build you could use a build tool such as ANT or Maven.
I wrote a tutorial for this some time ago: Setting up web development environments with Eclipse
It shows how to setup JBoss within Eclipse (in addition, it also shows how to setup Tomcat and Weblogic), and also shows how to build a simple sample Servlet to verify the proper installation.
If you already use JBoss on the server side, then have a look at the client side as well: http://www.jboss.org/developer
(I haven't tried it myself, but...)
Just open eclipse then go to:
"Help-> Check For Updates" It will check for eclipse updates and installs new availables.
Now "Help -> Eclipse Market Place" Search for "Jboss tools" from search result select one(as your eclipse version) and install it. It will add adapter for new jboss versions.
Now add new server from server view select Jboss version then next add your Home directory of jboss. Then finish.
Step 1 is optional but it sometime it helps.
Environment
Win7
Eclipse Helios, Eclipse 3.6.1
Java 6
Jboss Tools version 1.0.0.v20110123-0129-H10-CR1 from the nightly builds
Jboss 4.2.3
In the past I used MyEclipse, which is a paid tool. In myEclipse, it's easy to configure a JBOSS Server and then deploy
your webproject in it. While in debug mode, if I change a java class (OR JSP), its changes are immediately reflected under Jboss and
I can test that change, without doing any explicit redeployment
So myeclipse had these features working outof the box....
I'm trying to accomplish same functionality with Eclipse Helios and Jboss Tools
Case 1
I added the Jboss Server via Java EE perspective->Add Server etc...
And then added my WebProject to this Jboss Server
When I right click on this added project and publish from here, it runs an ant script, to create a single (Standard) war file...and it always does the whole thing over.
I dont get a choice to deploy it expanded and anything to specify an incremental deployment
Case 2
Since Case 1 didnt allow exploded war and anything incremental, I decided to use JBOSS Tools
So I opened, Window->Show View->Other->Jboss Tools->Project archives
Selected my webproject, after which it showed up in the "Project archives" tab
So then....Right click on the project name in "project archives" tab.....->New Archive->WAR...and I added my project to deploy in exploded form. ok.
Now if I right click on the added WAR and click "Build Archive (full)"....it deploys the whole web project. Everytime it does the whole thing, instead of incremental.
Since that option didnt do it incrementally, so I right clicked and clicked "Publish to Server". The window that pops up, doesnt show me any servers...from where do i add to this?
In summary....
A) I havent seen any way to incrementally deploy
B) When I'm in debug mode, my java file changes dont reflect immediately...I dont mind redeploying, but since its not incremental, its annoying to do the whole thing over and over.
So question is ...
1) How do I do an incremental deployment?
2) How do I configure this, such that my changes in java classes are reflected immediately when in debug mode.
btw I have seen people suggest an alternate soln to use a custom ANT script....But will ANT script incrementally deploy, if I use it's copy command?
Thanks

It's MUCH simpler than this.
Forget about JBoss tools Archives, simply use the WTP adapter that JBoss tools provides. This one does incremental deployment (like MyEclipse).
Make sure you install JBossAS Tools from JBoss tools (yes the name sucks). Its description is:
Provides a WTP adapter for JBoss AS 4.x and 5.x. Supports incremental and exploded deployment.
Dish the WTP Server adaptor you created earlier from "Add Server etc..." and do it again, but this time don't choose from "JBoss" but choose from the new folder "JBoss Community". You'll see several new adapters there with the red logo and a slightly different name (e.g. WTP bundled is JBoss v5.0 but the one supplied by JBossAS Tools is JBoss AS 5.0).
Alternatively you can also use JRebel, which does incremental deployment no matter what WTP adapter you use (you disable the automatic deployment in that case).
Im new to Eclipse. I use Tomcat as my run time server, but every time I modified the jsp pages, Eclipse was still displaying the older one. Just wondering how to redeploy the application so the changes can be reflected.

Doubleclick the server instance in question in the Servers view to open its configuration. Now, in the right top you should see a section called Publishing. Open it to verify and configure autopublishing settings.
Eclipse should do that automatically for you.
Otherwise, on the Servers view (Menu Window->Show View->Servers), you can right click on your Tomcat instance and hit "Publish" or "Restart"
Make sure you have the "JST Server Adapters" ("Web, XML and Java EE Development category") feature installed.
Eclipse's publishing functionality requries the project to be a "web project", and in some cases requires additional configurations.
Go to Windows > Preferences > Server > Runtime environments and add your tomcat
Either try using publishing, or (better I think) use the FileSync plugin. There you can tell which folders from your project should be copied (live) to what directory on your machine (the tomcat/webapps/yourapp). With a little more effort the filesync configuration can be made machine independent (only using one parameter as TOMCAT_ROOT), in case you want to check-in the project to a repository where others will use it.
Get the Tomcat plugin. It was nice because you can install Tomcat on your system and then associate your web app with that instance of Tomcat. The plugin will let you stop/start Tomcat and define a server such that when you do a build it knows how to deploy the changes. There may be some newer plugin but the Tomcat plugin worked for me and was fairly simple to install and use. Here is a page from IBM on using Eclipse and Tomcat. Inside that page it points you to the following: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/library/os-eclipse-tomcat/
I am trying to run a JSF 1.2 application created using Eclipse Ganemede and JBoss Tools on WebLogic 10.0 MP1
I have created a simple JSF helloworld application and have added a simple JSP. I have configured a weblogic domain and a server using the JBoss Tools plugin through eclipse. When I right click on the JSP file I can only see "Run Configurations..." options and NOT "Run on Server..". I do get this ('run on server') option when I right click on the application in the eclipse, but it doesn't run the
This is strange as in another JSF application on the same eclipse workspace, i am able to 'run on server' the JSP pages by right clicking on them.
Can anyone suggest a solution for this ?
Thanks.

Do you see any error log when you start the server associated to your JSF application (either in the eclipse Error log view or in the logs of the server)?
As illustrated by this thread:
There are certain classes, identified by their package, that the server supplies which webapps aren't allowed to override.
If such classes are found in a jar in WEB-INF/lib, Tomcat deals with this by ignoring the offending jar.
Obviously, javax.servlet is one of those packages. Assuming javax.servlet.jar only contained javax.servlet classes, this shouldn't by itself cause your webapp to fail.
I would start by removing this jar from the webapp since it is always wrong to have a jar like this in WEB-INF/lib.
Not much of a solution, but at least you can provide some more details/logs which may be enough for you to get a better grasp on this issue.
Can you add the project by dragging the project to the server ?
If not then it's not a WTP project of some reason and then no run-as will be available.
There might be some error in web.xml.Even i faced the same issue after clearing the errors in web.xml ,i can able to see run-as option
