Web Services in Eclipse - eclipse

I have many projects setup in eclipse. One of these projects is a Web Service Client Project. When I start tomcat using the Start Tomcat plugin in eclipse Juno, my Web Service project is not running. I get a 404 http error. However, using the Server tab in eclipse (on creating my web services project, a Server project is also created), if I start Server, my Web Service Projects runs corectly.
I am of the view therefore that Web Services projects must be started using the Server->Start option and not Start Tomcat using the plugin.
I am new to Web services. Can anyone share some information on this, and how perhaps I can get the Web Services project to run using the Tomcat plugin.

did you add the Web Service project on the Server ? Right Click on Webservice Project and Run on Server OR Right Click on the Server and "Add or Remove" Resource

Eclipse dynamic web project not running on tomcat server

I've installed a Tomcat server to my Eclipse (Kepler), so why does it need an internet connection when I run a dynamic web project?
If I understood your question correctly - you need to start your tomcat server before you access your application. It's not related to internet connection.
Overall Steps:
1.Follow THIS post answer steps to setup tomcat into eclipse
2.Add your application artifact (.war or .jar file) into tomcat server by right click on server -> Add and Remove...
3.Select your artifact and click on add button. You will see artifact moved from Available to Configured box.
4.Clean entire project (Project -> Clean)
5.Start you server and check console for any error.
6.If you don't see any error - access your application
Hope this helps!!

GWT Deployment to JBoss

I am currently working on a project which has a GWT frontend and a seperate Java module with servlets and a REST interface on the backend. The project when deployed runs on a single JBoss server.
I am running into difficulties though as when I run the GWT app in hosted mode (in eclipse) the jetty server does not have a deployed Java module to interact with.
My idea was to setup a JBoss server which eclipse could deploy into for development purposes, the problem with this is that the installer for the product sets up a JBoss server with a GWT app already embedded in it, so redeploying into this JBoss instance might cause problems?
My other idea would be to create a second JBoss server to host the GWT app, with some sort of url redirect for the rest calls which would redirect to the first JBoss instance. Is this possible?
EDIT: Can I do this with the built in jetty server in eclipse and not have to worry about using a seperate JBoss server. In other words can I somehow get the jetty server in eclipse to redirect particular requests to a different URL?

Running GWT on tomcat in eclipse

I am trying to get a GWT Project running on a Tomcat 7 server in eclipse. I installed Tomcat and i can run other web application out of eclipse on Tomcat without a problem.
Now i generated a gwt maven project for eclipse with the following command and importet it as maven project to eclipse:
"mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=org.codehaus.mojo -DarchetypeArtifactId=gwt-maven-plugin"
I can run this now as Web application (with the google plugin) and i can build a "war" with maven and deploy this with the Tomcat management console on the server. Both is working. But if i choose the option in eclipse "Run on server" and choose tomcat than just the html is loaded but not the application itself. See the screenshot: It doesn't find the "GWTModule.nocache.js".
This file is available in the target folder. What do i have to change to tell tomcat to look in the correct directory?
Tomcat is not able to run GWT code in development mode. You can use Tomcat for server side code, but in this case you need to run GWT development mode with -noserver option (to prevent built-in Jetty instance from running). See this article for more details.
I would recommend using the wtp plugin for eclipse. If you do this you can add your project/resource to tomcat when adding a new server. Here are the steps to use if you already have your project imported into eclipse.
Window -> Show View -> Servers
In Servers
New -> Server -> Choose apache tomcat
Point to the location of your tomcat installation/download
Next
At this point you should be able to add your gwt-maven project which will add the target/project.war to the tomcat modules.
Save it
Click on the newly added server, then click the modules tab at the bottom kind of hard to see.
This should have your project shown in the list of web modules.
Start your tomcat instance then on your gwt application right click and choose Run As -> Web application. Make sure your configuration settings are correct and when the development server starts it should give you the development url to browse to.
You can configure some aspects of tomcat in the overview tab, I would recommend making sure that "Modules auto reload by default" is checked so that tomcat will watch the filesystem for class changes.

Tomcat and Eclipse server configuration

I installed tomcat on my ubuntu. When i create a new Dynamic Web Project I choose the tomcat 7 server. When I launch my page it works on localhost:8080/app/page but if I go on localhost:8080 it give me a 404 error.
If i start tomcat server with an external script like /etc/init.d/tomcat start, it works but I cannot launch my app because it says that the port 8080 is already occupied (by the other instance of tomcat).
I'm confused on how set everything, I would start tomcat at boot and link that instance for my apps.
Can you explain how I hato to do?
Open the server configuration in the Servers tab on Eclipse. On "Server Locations", mark "Use Tomcat installation".
EDIT: to be more precise, this will make Eclipse "take control" of your Tomcat folder. So it will not just make a replica on eclipse .metadata and deploy only your apps on it; instead it will be like if you ran bin/startup, but using some of the configuration defined on Servers view. So if you go localhost:8080 you will see the Welcome page, because /ROOT is now started by Eclipse.
So, I am not against "Starting/Stopping" the server from eclipse but to keep it simple, I think you can stop the server from eclipse (Click on windows/showview/Servers and then stop the server). Then I think you should not get an error if you start tomcat again from external script. Then you can right click on your dynamic web project in eclipse and export it as a war file inside tomcat-install--dir/webapps. Where your web application is available (on which context) depends on the web.xml file. If you need further info on this plz let me know.

Ejb with NetBeans

I am very new in Ejb and with very few knowledge about it. I have download NetBeans (7.01) and GlassFish and run a sample program. But, as I have no idea about Ejb, I can't understand how to run this program on NetBeans. Can anybody help me by giving steps how to run this program. Thanks in advance.
NetBeans installs on default GlassFish web application server, which deploys your enterprise projects. To ensure that server is registered in the IDE, go to Services -> Servers inlay and look for "GlassFish Server 3.x". If you found it, open projects properties inlay: right click on your enterprise project -> Properties -> Run and make sure, that "Server" is set to "GlassFish Server 3.x". Then you can deploy you enterprise application: right click on project -> Deploy. IDE should start application server and deploy your application. To run your deployed project right click -> Run or type in the browser address, given in your tutorial, which is mapped to your resource (e.g. http://localhost:8080/book). In this way GlassFish doesn't require additional settings files except persistence.xml in your ejb project and web.xml in the web project.
In case you don't have GlassFish server installed, you can download it here. Make sure you don't have it already installed separately from NetBeans.
If you want to deploy your app on JBoss application server (instead of GlassFish), you should first download it from official site and install. After you've done it, you can set it as server in NetBeans: Services -> Servers -> Add server. Then you can deploy your project as was described above.
