easy way to compile/test a java ee app

Hello Angelo,

Do you start Glassfish locally? Try to check log file (it is shown in the
next tab to run console), usually it shows the reason why deployment fails.

For me Glassfish deployment fails when some web (yes, I didn't try java ee)
application is already deployed with the same context path. In this case
I run the server outside Idea, undeploy old application and stop server.
Then inside Idea all works many times until some next error.

Hi,

I have this simple java ee app, it connects to a remote Glassfish 2
server, everytime I click 'run', IDEA returns:

Facet javaEEApplication: Module is being
deployed, please wait...

Connected to server

Facet javaEEApplication: Module is not
deployed. Press 'Deploy' to start deployment

I have to switch to Glassfish console, undeploy the app, then deploay
again, it takes time, what is the easy way to compile, deploy and test
in this case? Thanks,

Angelo

Alexander.

Hi Alexander,

I did not start it locally, but outside of IDEA, in the IDEA I define the server as remote, the app runs, it's just the undeploy/deploy/test cycle is slow, any easy way? or any other app server that IDEA supports better? also, when the app is using a remote server, is there a way to step the app in debug mode? Thanks,

Angelo

Checked with EAR including one web application (war). In 7.0.3 I meet the
bug: http://www.jetbrains.net/jira/browse/JEEAS-168. With EAR I observed
very similar behaviour: IDEA console reports "Module is not deployed", while
actually it is deployed. So, thanks for the bug report.

also, when the app is using a remote server, is there
a way to step the app in debug mode?

Yes. Find the file: {glassfish.home}/domains/{domain.name}/config/domain.xml.
Find element java-config. Make sure that debug-enabled attribute is "true".
Also make sure that debug port number in IDEA run configuration matches
port number specified in this java-config element. Then execution of this
configuration in debug mode will to stop at breakpoints and you can step.
