Hi,

The normal behavior of Ecliipse for Java projects is to compile the source file as soon as it is saved. This, I believe, still happens, but when I modify a file, my EJB is not automatically redeployed.

Info:
* Eclipse: 2.1.1
* JBoss: 3.2
* Workbench 2.5.1
* Deploying a stateless session bean with exploded deployment.

In this case, the application is only redeployed when I select ‘rebuild project’ or ‘rebuild all’. How do I configure Eclipse to redeploy my application every time I save a file?

Cheers
Erik

Hi,

I also re-installed Eclipse and the Workbench plugins and did not install any other plugins. The effect is the same, whenever I modify a file, redeployment does not take place.

Cheers

Hi,

I also took a look at the eclipse log file. There is one entry in it which could explain the problem perhaps:

!ENTRY org.eclipse.ui 4 4 Aug 12, 2003 00:32:50.260
!MESSAGE Unable to find Action Set: com.genuitec.myeclipse.actions.server

The complete log file is as follows:

!SESSION Aug 12, 2003 00:02:01.991 ———————————————

Hi,

I also removed all Java VM installations from my machine and made sure I have only one JDK installed (the latest: 1.4.2). The problem still exists.

Cheers

Oops,

Sorry for all the confusion but I have solved the problem.
I forgot to mention that JBoss was running in a separate command prompt window. Wenn I run JBoss from inside Eclipse everything works.

Nevertheless, it would be nice if it would be possible to use sync-on-demand when the server is already running somewhere else. Last time, I got errors indicating there was not enough memory, which required me to restart Eclipse. By being able to start the JBoss server in a separate process, perhaps this problem could be solved. My computer has 512 MB of memory.

Anyway, I am glad that the problem is solved now and I am getting quite happy with the MyEclipse workbench.

Cheers

Erik,

Last time, I got errors indicating there was not enough memory, which required me to restart Eclipse. By being able to start the JBoss server in a separate process, perhaps this problem could be solved.

You can configure how much memory is given to Eclipse by changing the startup alias to use the -vmargs command to specify more. For example:
-vmargs -Xmx256M

If it is JBoss that is running out of memory, on the JBoss > JDK configuration page you can specify Optional VM Arguments to give JBoss more memory. For example:
-Xms128M
-Xmx256M

Which you use depends on whether it is Eclipse that is running out of memory or whether JBoss is reporting that it is running out of memory.

Anyway, I am glad that the problem is solved now and I am getting quite happy with the MyEclipse workbench.

Always good to hear! 🙂
