Eclipse + JBoss Tools won't run webapp to configured JBoss AS - eclipse

I am using Eclipse 3.7.2 with JBoss Tools 3.3 under Ubuntu 12 and have configured a locally installed copy of JBoss AS 7.1.1 in Eclipse under "Preferences::Server::Runtime" Environments.
However, when trying to run a Java EE application by double-clicking on the project or an .xhtml page I only see "Run As / Run" on Server as an option and I get an HTTP 404 from Apache Tomcat/7.0.26 at localhost:8080. That is, it seems like Eclipse is trying to deploy to a Tomcat server as opposed to the JBoss AS I have configured in "Preferences::Server::Runtime" and I don't get an option like "Run on JBoss" or anything. When I export my application as a war and manually deploy to JBoss AS the app runs fine.

The idea is to add your application to a specific server that you have configured. Additionally; just adding the server runtime isn't enough.
You need to open the Servers view, and from there right click on the background and select New, and then Server. If you choose JBoss Community -> JBoss AS 7.1 here, you can select your previously created Server runtime in the Server runtime environment, or optionally create a new one.
Then comes the mental twist that you need to make. In WTP you don't use the Run As command, but instead right click the server in the Servers view (default name should be JBoss 7.1 Runtime Server, and select Add and Remove. Select one or more applications from your workspace that you would like to run on your server. Click finish when done.
Now right click again on your server, and choose either Start or Debug.

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.

Integrating JBOSS and Eclipse

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.

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.

Unable to add installed Glassfish 3.1 to Netbeans 7.0

I recently migrated to Netbeans 7.0(with glassfish 3.1) from 6.9(with glassfish 3.0). After that glassfish server ran just for the first time and when I restarted netbeans, since then, it doesnt show glassfish in the servers list.
Now when I am trying to add my already installed server to netbeans, on pointing to installation location of server, it says C:\Program Files\glassfish-3.1(my glassfish installation directory) does not have a usable default domain.
Then on selecting : Register Local Domain it asks for:
Enter the path to a directory that will contain a new domain.
On selecting any directory, it says : Unsupported domain at C:\Program Files\glassfish-3.1; Admin-listener is disabled or no enabled http-listener
How do I rectify this and add Glassfish support to my netbeans 7.0 ?
I just had the exact same problem and I managed to solve it this way:-
Just run NetBeans as Administrator & try again repeating your steps, everything will work!
I think that NetBeans doesn't have a right to create folders outside of it's own if you don't run it as an Administrator.
This issue also occurred for me in UNIX using GlassFish 4.1.1.
My fix involved gaining write privileges to my GlassFish folder (located for me in /usr/local/glassfish-4.1.1). This can be done by using the chmod command, which requires sudo access if not the owner.
I had same issue but this time Netbeans 8 with Glassfish 4.x win7, the way I solved it is below:
No need to run netbeans as administrator.
No need to dowload the Glassfish zip file, you'll dowload through netbeans IDE.
-create a dir where you'll place your glassfish installation files. In my case (win7) is:
C:\glassfish4
-Enter glassfish ide, go to Services / Servers / Add Server
-when Netbeans request your GlassFish location, browse the one we created above.
-select "Remote Domain"
-mark "I have read and accept licence agreement"
-press "Download" and select glasfish 4, ok.
this should start dowloading the Glasfish Server, just complete configurations steps.
This happens when Java EE is not activated in the IDE. In the Services window, the Servers node is then empty. The node allows to add a new server, and in the process activates Java EE. Now when trying to register, the IDE discovers that it already has the selected server, refusing to register it twice. Just cancel and use the existing server in the refreshed Servers node.

How to redeploy the web app using the Eclipse IDE

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.
Eclipse: Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers 1.2.1.20090918-0703
Tomcat: Tomcat 6.0
Thanks
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/
