When I start Tomcat (6.0.18) from Eclipse (3.4), I receive this message (first in the log):
WARNING: [SetPropertiesRule]{Server/Service/Engine/Host/Context} Setting property 'source' to 'org.eclipse.jst.jee.server: (project name)' did not find a matching property.
Seems this message does not have any severe impact, however, does anyone know how to get rid of it?
The solution to this problem is very simple. Double click on your tomcat server. It will open the server configuration. Under server options check ‘Publish module contents to separate XML files’ checkbox. Restart your server. This time your page will come without any issues.
From Eclipse Newsgroup:
The warning about the source property is new with Tomcat 6.0.16 and may be ignored. WTP adds a "source" attribute to identify which project in the workspace is associated with the context. The fact that the Context object in Tomcat has no corresponding source property doesn't cause any problems.
I realize that this doesn't answer how to get rid of the warning, but I hope it helps.
I had the same problem with Eclipse 3.4(Ganymede) and dynamic web project.
The message didn't influence successfull deploy.But I had to delete row
<wb-resource deploy-path="/WEB-INF/classes" source-path="/src/main/resources"/>
from org.eclipse.wst.common.component file in .settings folder of Eclipse
I'm finding that Tomcat can't seem to find classes defined in other projects, maybe even in the main project. It's failing on the filter definition which is the first definition in web.xml. If I add the project and its dependencies to the server's launch configuration then I just move on to a new error, all of which seems to point to it not setting up the project properly.
Our setup is quite complex. We have multiple components as projects in Eclipse with separate output projects. We have a separate webapp directory which contains the static HTML and images, as well as our WEB-INF.
Eclipse is "Europa Winter release". Tomcat is 6.0.18. I tried version 2.4 and 2.5 of the "Dynamic Web Module" facet.
Thanks for any help!
