A complete Eclipse project configured to reproduce the error.
Extra things to run the project: - m2eclipse plugin - Apache Tomcat 6.0 The final goal is to set up a web project in Eclipse combined with Maven and make it work in such a way that changes made to classes are visible as quickly as possible. That's why I'm trying to skip publishing web resources, thus pointing WTP directly to src/main/webapp, and also changing Java sources default output directory (/target/classes) to WEB-INF/classes. Searching for "WtpDircontext" in Google pointed me to Bug 318492. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 318492 *** |
Build Identifier: 20100617-1415 I'm trying to set up Maven + WTP to hot deploy changes onto a Tomcat 6.0 server. I'm using Tomcat's "Serve modules without publishing" options to speed up things. To accomplish this I needed to twist a little bit MVN and JDT config to put compiled classes directly to WEB-INF/classes so These are the main configuration files I'm working around. org.eclipse.wst.common.component <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <project-modules id="moduleCoreId" project-version="1.5.0"> <wb-module deploy-name="mvnweb"> <wb-resource deploy-path="/WEB-INF/classes" source-path="/src/main/java"/> <wb-resource deploy-path="/" source-path="/src/main/webapp"/> <property name="context-root" value="mvnweb"/> <property name="java-output-path" value="/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/classes"/> </wb-module> </project-modules> pom.xml <outputDirectory>${basedir}/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/classes</outputDirectory> Default output folder in Java Build Path is set to /src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/classes. Everything looks fine, server starts up, but when changing a single line on a servlet a NullPointerException is thrown by org.eclipse.jst.server.tomcat.loader.WtpDirContext.file(WtpDirContext.java:209) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set up a project as described above 2. Start up Tomcat 3. Change a single line on a Servlet and save it 4. Watch for that error stacktrace on the server's console
