Hello,

I’m new to MyEclipse and am trying to import existing projects into the IDE. I believe that the existing project layout is not the typical format that MyEclipse is expecting.

After a project is deployed using the MyEclipse functionality, the basedir of the war file created is not what my application is expecting. Meaning, when I browse to http://localhost:8080/projectname, I am seeing a directory listing rather than my index.jsp page. (Note: index.jsp is located in the “www” directory)

For example, my build.xml file has this under my “deploy” target:

<war
        basedir="www"
        warfile="${build.dir}/${project.distname}.war"
        webxml="${webinf.dir}/web.xml">
        <exclude name="WEB-INF/${build.dir}/**"/>
        <exclude name="WEB-INF/src/**"/>
        <exclude name="WEB-INF/web.xml"/>
</war>

Is there a way to make the automated deployment recognize that the base directory should be “www”?

If not, am I correct to assume that debugging of JSP’s will not be available unless the automated deployment process is run?

If you right click on your project root and navigate to MyEclipse-web, you can set your Webroot dir to “www” and see if that fixes the problem. ME basically wants to know where the root of your webapp is.

Ok…I see the field you are talking about…but the box is grayed out. The “Web Context-root” field is editable however.

Am I missing another setting?

Thanks for the help!

Ahh, yea sorry its read-only in the gui. Just switch to the navigator view, and open your .mymetadata file and edit it there and then save the file, close/reopen the project and rebuild it for good measure.
