Hi,
i'm trying to configure my Weblogic Portal 7.0 domain to try JSP debugging.
I installed JDK 1.4 as required by MyEclipseEAI.
I have had no problems with a usual weblogic domain with Eclipse, but when I configured Portal, and then start running the app. server, I get the following error message: (stack trace attached):
Any sort of help is appreciated !!

Thanks,
Naga

I checked Google and there seems to be a documented but with Weblogic / Pointbase that is referenced here:

Additionally:
1) you don't need to add tools.jar to the classpath
2) You should really use JDK 1.4 to launch WebLogic as that will enable HotSwap debugging of your Java code. If you're constrained to 1.3.1, that's ok, just don't expect debug code replacements to work.
3) Be careful using prepend to classpath. Prepend really exists for service packs or bug fixes since they will be loaded before anything in weblogic.jar. However, if WebLogic depends on certain releases you can introduce an incompatibility by using prepend. It's safer to use append to add new functionality.

The Pointbase DB server is a little server used by portal to store configuration info. I start mine manually when using eclipse using the following.

(this is for windows):

"cd to C:\bea\user_projects\myDomain\bin\win32

start /MIN antcallnopause pbrun -Dpointbase.args=/win"

I used Bedrock to build my project so I'm not sure if things will be set up the same without Bedrock. Good luck.

Yeah! MyEclipse users supporting other MyEclipse users.

Thank you! :-)

No problem - hope that it helps!

Thanks bedmonston!

Like you mentioned, the weblogic plug-in installed in eclipse is only responsible for reading the config.xml and starting weblogic services. it does not know about starting pointbase server. however, the scripts that we have "startPortal.cmd" calls batch files internally to start the pointbase server..This was the reason why I could never get portal started inside eclipse while my cmd line script seemed to work perfectly fine!

I guess I must start writing my own plug-in to work with Weblogic Portal 7.0...OR, I could submit this as an enhancement request to My_eclipse...
;)...say wat Scott !;)...
juss kidding!...

Is there a plug-in available somewhere to call batch-files within eclipse?!..

Thanks again!

Yep, it's called Ant. ;-) Really though, a simple Ant script can be used to start pointbase for you (and shut it down). Just remember to call it before you launch WebLogic portal.

Glad to see you're up and running. I bet this will prove to be a valuable thread for others configuring the WebLogic portal server so thanks for working through it here.

Hi,
I need some help in configuring Weblogic 7.0 Portal & JSP debugging.
I was able to configure & run WEblogic Portal withing Eclipse without
any
problems.(Note: pointbase must be started before trying to run Portal
within
eclipse). Now, I am trying to setup JSP debugging.
I created a customized web-project with the files.project, .classpath &
.mymetadata (all shown below).
If you notice, my web project directory points to a directory
\"portalApp\"
inside the wls domain \"portalDomain\". Unfortunately, WL portal is run
in
an exploded EAR/WAR format and does not support deployment of an EAR.
The application portalApp is not in the \"applications\" directory and
it is
present under the \"portalDomain\" directory.

Ok, with this basic information, here goes my questions/problems:
1. Does JSP debugging require that I deploy the application every time
to
the container?. weblogic 7.0 portal is set up in such a way that it
does not
allow deployment. Moreover, the directory to which I can deploy is not
configurable in Eclipse. It always points to \"<my Domain
Dir>\applications\".
2. With the existing setup, I tried placing breakpoints in my JSp but
it
does not work.
3. Though my web.xml has all the custom tags defined, the Eclipse IDE
does
not seem to recognize any of it.

Any sort of help is appreciated..Pls let me know if you need more info.

Thanks/Rgds,
-Naga

Naga,

Well, you've got quite a complex set of issues here. I'll see if I can help a bit, but we really don't have any experience with WebLogic's portal product so I'll have to hope that some of those nice portal developers that helped out before (you know who you are :-) will chime in this time too.

1. Does JSP debugging require that I deploy the application every time to the container?.

No, as long as the application is deployed at least once to the container. It doesn't even have to be with our deployer, as long as you use the WebLogic connector to start the server.

2. With the existing setup, I tried placing breakpoints in my JSp but it does not work.

It's probably your descriptor settings. Please review this thread from the Documentation forum: http://myeclipseide.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=84

3. Though my web.xml has all the custom tags defined, the Eclipse IDE does not seem to recognize any of it.

It may be a problem with the specification. Have you included the 'taglib' statement in all your JSP's? When you say the IDE doesn't recognize it are you saying that you're getting compilation errors? Or that code assist isn't working in the JSP editor? Any more specifics you can provide will help.

Quote:

Moreover, the directory to which I can deploy is not configurable in Eclipse. It always points to \"<my Domain Dir>\applications\".

Very true, because that's the proper exploded deployment location for WebLogic server. However you bring up an interesting point that since portal can be configured differently. This might be a good enhancement request for the 'Enhancements' forum. How do the other portal developers feel about this? Anyone with good use cases for why the exploded deployment directory should be user selectable?

Hi Scott..
I added all the tag-lib files under web-inf. But I still get errors building the web-project. Here's the actual problem:

All my tag-lib definitions are in JSp header files with an extension .jsi (company convention). When I do the build, the JSp compiler does not seem to identify a .jsi included in a .jsp file. hence, the .jsi files are never read.
Is there a way to add the .jsi extension so that the compiler understands it?

-Naga

Naga,

I really don't know. I know we support .jspf as the include suffix, since this is the one used in the spec, but I'm not sure about others. I'm checking into it with our JSP experts now.

--Scott
MyEclipse Support

Oh Ok!..
the file plugin.xml in dir :D:\java\ide\MyEclipse\eclipse\plugins\de.bb.bje.eclipse_2.1.1
has the following entry:

Code:

<editor          name="MyEclipse JSP Editor"          icon="icons/solar_jsp.png"          extensions="jsp,jsf,jspf"    contributorClass="de.bb.bje.eclipse.editors.ActionContributor"    class="de.bb.bje.eclipse.editors.BJspEditor"    id="de.bb.bje.eclipse.editors.BJspEditor"> </editor>

Will it work if I add .jsi to the attribute extensions shown above?
-Naga

Those extensions really just control which types of files the editor will be the default for, they don't have anything to do with compiler function. If you'd like to use the editor as the default to open your .jsi files, you can configure that from within the workbench by going to Window->Preferences->Workbench->File Associations.

There's no need to change the plugin.xml file. Please don't. :-)

--Scott
MyEclipse Support

ok .! wont touch it !:)..i'll wait for you get back on the jsp include file extensions from your JSP experts..:)

thanks!
-Naga

Naga,

We've made a test project and named the include files *.jsi, also tried other extensions. As expected it works with any extension for include files. So the problem is of different nature.

- It is ok and also works to place import statements into static include files
- the name of include file only matters to choose the default editor in eclipse

So, basically I don't know why you're having problems with your taglib in .jsi includes. However, our testing was done on the GA release candidate, not EA2 so if there was a problem in EA2, it looks like it has been fixed.

How about upgrading your installation tomorrow and trying out the new version to see if that fixes the problem you're seeing?
