J2EE running
Hi All,
We're planning to change application server startup policy (for weblogic &
tomcat).
At the moment: you have to customize jars, VM parameters and program
parameters in order to start the server.
We think it'd be better to allow user to set paths for startup/shutdown
executable files for the server. It seems to be more flexible and convenient
for user.
Any opinions and suggestions are welcome.

I think that allowing users to specify paths to startup/shutdown scripts
would be a good alternative; however, I wouldn't throw away what you have
now.
I like being able to configure startup/shutdown of a server without having
to maintain shell scripts.
Users should be able to select either one of the two options.

This may help us. We start Tomcat via the startup.bat. This allows us
to set the classpath via the setclasspath.bat file. We for some strange
reason feel we have to go against the standard that the rest of the
world follows and have our libraries set-up via the server classpath.

Hi,
The web/J2EE servers are usually bundled with startup/shutdown scripts
so we expect no need to maintain any separate scripts.

They are, but what about special items like remote debug settings, port
numbers, and administrative login information?
Doesn't IDEA need access to these items or to have them set to something
specified by IDEA? If so, would I need to modify my scripts to provide the
values specified by IDEA?

I have a separate debugging script for tomcat, but all it does is set a
few environment variables for Tomcat, then calls the normal startup.bat.

Hi,
Debug settings will go from IDEA options to these files (so yes, we need
to modify them to pass additional parameters), login information will go
in backward direction.

Please still allow for sane servers (like orion!) to be launched as they are currently. Orion doesn't come with any startup scripts, and the plugin currently constructs the command line args to invoke directly, (ie, java blahblahblah) rather than execing some script.
I'm seeing the results of this thread, and I think I'd like to chime in at this point.
I think that what I see in 2051 is too complex for its own good. What was wrong with Tomcat starting and being setup the way it used to work? Right now there are a batch of new settings which might bring more customization to the screen, but render the whole experience of setting an application server up more complex, and what you gain by this is nothing, you just spend more time setting it up.
The other problem I have is that I'm asked to setup a J2EE server, and I do by pointing it to the Tomcat directory. Then When I setup Tomcat from the run config, I have to set everything up there again. makes no sense.
if you want to make it easy, use the one screen to setup an app server. The screen in the IDE preferences where you're already asking us the question. What I would do is have the ability to add a weblogic, Tomcat and JSR45 server. Based on that choice, bring up a screen with the proper settings. Let us set it up once.
When I go into the web app run config setup, let me choose the app server I already setup. Don't fill it up with a bunch of crazy screens. Then just let me choose the context there if appropriate.
This makes the setup process simple, and we do it ONCE. It also makes the screen you deal with most, web app config setup, very simple with minimal entries.
Thanks
R
I like that we can now specify the startup file. Until this option,
Tomcat always had to be ran remote because we need startup.bat instead
catalina.jar.
However, I like the old screen. Any chance we can go back to that?
Just specify catalina home, etc. with the option to specify the
startup/shutdown script?

Hi,
Please, use 'catalina.bat run' (startup.bat starts asynchroneously)

yes, but why do we have to set that up every single time, and it can't all be done from one panel in the IDE preferences, and based on what we choose in web app run config, you display extra information which DOES change from one web app to the next, like perhaps the context (though I use the same one for all the apps I run in IDEA).
I just think the information is too all over the place, and right now it's starting make the windows incredibly wide to set things up. On my 15" Mac, I have to go all the way wide to see the full settings in Tomcat.
R
You cannot call catalina.bat without a command parameter. I am trying
to send run, but I am running into problems because the path to the .bat
has spaces.
"C:\dev\tomcat\Tomcat 4.1.18\bin\catalina.bat" run
yields
cmd /c ""C:\dev\tomcat\Tomcat 4.1.18\bin\catalina.bat" run"
TC attempts to start, but I still get class not found errors. TC runs
OK if I start it at the command prompt via catalina.bat run.

Hi, IDEA calls 'catalina.bat run' by default and this works on my computer (maybe there is no need to use own batch file since CATALINA_HOME and JAVA_HOME should be set by IDEA properly)
That is what I thought; however, it is not performing the part of
catalina.bat that calls setclasspath.bat. I verified that my
catalina.bat DOES have this line in it.

What happened to the checkbox that allows "Include moduel classpath"?

Hi,
Please you bring the light on why your tomcat / web app depends on the
module classpath.

We (unlike the rest of the java web developers on earth) have our
libraries on a network drive. Instead of having libraries under
/WEB-INF/lib, they are on a network share. To make these available, the
classpath is made available to TC.
This is the totally wrong way to do it, but that is the world I live
in. This isn't completely uncommon because Tomcat comes with the
correct files that can easily make this available. We modify
setclasspath.bat to include the current system classpath and voila!
Tomcat starts up and we have access to the classes that are on the
network share.

Hi,
We are about to remove 'Include module classpath' for Tomcat integration
since this leads to nonportable Web applications (and even in this case
the effect could be archieved with batch files modifications).
Please, post your opinions why this feature should be preserved.

I found a way to work around. Instead of putting %classpath% in the
setclasspath.bat, I put the absolute values and it works.
It is never advisable to remove functionality. You never know who is
using it. With that in mind, I wouldn't be heartbroken if that is
removed. You just have to be ready to explain the workaround.

Hi,
The functionality was largely dependent on old tomcat launching approach
so we have dropped it already with due batch files launching approach.
It could be restored if there is significant demand for it (even given
that it introduces portability problems)

I would say drop it. Worst case, I make a custom batch file that sets
my custom classpath, etc. before calling catalina.bat.

Ok I dish out complaints, but I'll also dish out praises.
Just got 2058. First it works with JDK 1.4.2_04 DP2 on the mac, which is excellent, and it's much snappier, I guess Apple did some good work there.
- I can now start Tomcat.
- I can now resolve my TLDs
- I can also see that the direction of app server setup is taking a new direction, and it looks to be the one I suggested which is to let us setup all app servers basic configs in one spot, I hope more of these window settings keep moving to the preferences pane and out of the web app setup. It flows better with how the rest of idea works, it's more natural.
So good job there, and good job getting a quick handle on this.
Only problem right now is that I can't change the web.xml deployment descriptor, the web.xml delete button doesn't get enabled, that would be helpful to implement. :)
It seems that starting a web app is very processor intensive. I have idea and iTunes running, and it seriously hiccuped iTunes. I'm sure you're not worried about performance yet, it's just something to keep in mind. You're slamming the CPU enough that it's affecting other apps on a Unix system.
More comments as I work on it.
Thanks

(filed a bug for this) Tomcat ServerDK settings don't get saved on project close, I seem to have to re set them all the time, no biggie and I know you're working on it.
Also debugging JSPs works, very happy to see that especially that now that I'm on 1.4.2_04 DP2 for the Mac I can't revert back, and 4.0.3 no longer works with that. So what you have here allows me to use Pallada every day... just please try not to break anything :)

This isn't an issue at all if you don't deploy IDEA's output outside IDEA

IMO it's a convenient development-time feature. If you don't plan to
deploy the exploded web directory or archive outside of IDEA, what's the
point of consuming diskspace by copying libraries when they can be found
on the module classpath?
I won't be too upset if it's already gone, but I do think it should be
kept.
Just my 2¢.
